Lilliahna & Zac Ch. 00

By: xx_Whatagirlwants_xx



~Hey. This is my first submission so please let me know what you think of it. The story is told from both Lilliahna and Zac's points of views and I hope you guys enjoy it. :D ~

~*~ Lilliahna ~*~

'Dear Zac,

I know this is may sound stupid but I really like you. I also don't know why but I can't stop thinking about you. I was wondering if you might like to go out sometime?

'If not I completely understand, I just thought that if I never tell you how I feel then I would spend forever thinking 'what if?'

Love Lilliahna.'

This probably wasn't the wisest decision in my life. I re-read the letter, sighed and put into an envelope. Now all I had to do was slip the envelope into his bag.

The next morning I had my chance. Everyone else was in our home class and I was out in the corridor where the bags and lockers were. I went over to Zac's bag, took a deep breath and slipped the letter in. I turned around as our teacher, Mr West, came out into the corridor and told me off for not being inside as home class had started. As I followed him inside I thought to myself; 'now all I have to do is wait'.

~*~ Zac ~*~

Mondays are always bad. I don't know why, they just are. However, at the same time, they are great because I'm getting away from my Dad. No one knows him as I do. No one knows he's an alcoholic. When he gets really drunk, I get out of his way. He has put me in hospital a couple of times. But oh well. 

It had been a bad day. Again, I had tried to tell Lilliahna that I liked her. And again, I couldn't. She was popular and beautiful. I was me. Why would she ever like me?

I got home and hunted through my bag for the note for Dad as I had gotten into trouble at school again. Instead, I came across something I hadn't seen before. A letter, addressed to me, from Lilliahna. I read it immediately and decided to ask her out tomorrow, maybe.

~*~ Lilliahna ~*~

I was beginning to wonder if Zac had gotten the letter when he came over to me during lunch a couple of days later. 

"Lilliahna, can I talk to you?" 

"Yeah ok," I replied, as he grabbed my arm and pulled me far enough away from my friends that they couldn't hear what he had to say. 

"I must say I was quite surprised when I got that letter."

"I thought you would have been," I replied.

"But I have liked you for a while. I think we should go out, maybe tomorrow night. What would your Mum and Dad say? Would they let you?" he asked me. 

"I don't know," I told him honestly. "I mean they trust me enough but I'm not sure what they would think with me going out with a guy. I'd have to ask them." 

"Alright, tell me what they say ok?" he said as he walked away.

"K, I hope they say yes," I said softly to myself.

~*~ Zac ~*~

When I got home, Dad straight away asked me what had taken so long. It's not like I was late, as I had practically came straight home. I mean I stopped and chatted to Lilliahna for ten minutes but had headed home after that. He was drunk though so I didn't want to annoy him too much. 

"I had to stay behind and talk to my maths teacher. He's suggested a tutor, as I'm not very good at maths and has organised with me to stay at school for an extra hour one night a week with one of my classmates, Lilliahna Thomas. I came straight home after that." 

I know that this wasn't entirely true but I didn't want to make him angry. 

"I don't care," He said, or rather yelled. "I said straight home and I meant it!" 

He lunged at me and I fell backwards over the coffee table. He got on top of me and punched me in the head so I kicked out at him. Bad move. He pulled me to my feet by my arm. 

"Don't ever do that again," he growled pushing me. 

I fell backwards and hit the back of my head on the corner of the coffee table. I felt blood trickle down the back of my neck but I wasn't very worried about that. I was more worried about getting out of there. Fighting back tears, I ran out the front door.

~*~ Lilliahna ~*~

Mum met me at the door when I got home from school and handed Isabella, my little baby sister, to me.

"Honey, I need you to look after her for me. I have this meeting..." she said. 

"Only if I can go out for tea with a friend tomorrow night," I told her. 

"Who with?" She asked. 

"Zac, a guy in my class." 

"Yeah that's ok as long as you are home by nine. Bye," She said as she grabbed her briefcase and left. 

I played with Isabella for a while before putting her to bed at seven. I tried to do some homework but couldn't concentrate so I decided to call Zac. 

His Dad answered the phone and told me he wasn't home. He was slurring his words a bit so I guessed he was drunk. I tried Zac's mobile and he answered. 

"Hello?" he said. 

"Hi Zac, it's me, Lilliahna. Are you ok?" It sounded as though he was crying, or had been. 

"Yes, no. It doesn't matter." 

"I want to meet up with you. Where are you?" I asked him. I had heard Dad pull up so he could look after Issy now. 

"No I don't really want to see anybody at the moment Lilliahna. I'm sorry." He replied. 

"Why not?" I asked him. 

"I just don't feel like it ok?" 

"Where are you?" I asked again. 

"In the park..." 

"Stay there." I said hanging up the phone.

"Hey Dad, Issy is in bed, Mum's at a meeting, I'm going for a walk. Bye," I said, not giving him a chance to say no.

~*~ Zac ~*~

"Great," I muttered to myself as she hung up on me. I really didn't want to see anyone. But then again, Lilli did sound really worried about me. Maybe she could help me after all. 

I waited five minutes and was about to go when I heard her calling me. Before I even had time to think about calling out to her she was standing in front of me. 

"Zac? What happened?" She asked, sitting down next to me and taking my hand. She put her hand to my hair and wiped at the blood that was there. 

"Dad. He didn't mean to hurt me. I know he didn't. You shouldn't have come. I'll be ok," he said quickly. 

"Don't be silly. I'm going to take you to the hospital and then you are coming to stay with me." 

"No Lilli. I have to go home. Dad will be waiting for me. It will all work out." 

"At least let me come to your house with you. Let me walk you home and make sure everything is ok," she said standing up. 

"Ok," I sighed.

As we started walking, she shivered. 

"Do you have a jumper?" I asked her. She shook her head so I took off my own jumper and gave it to her. 

"Sorry about the blood," I said. 

"Thanks Zac, you didn't have to," She said putting it on.

"Mmm...it smells like you," she commented taking a deep breath and then smiling at me. I reached for her hand; she had no hesitation in letting me take it.

~*~ Lilliahna ~*~

Zac sure was in a bad way when I found him. I was worried when he wouldn't let me take him to the hospital for a check up but that was ok. It would work out. 

We were almost at his house when my phone rang. It was Mum. 

"Lilliahna, where are you?" she asked sounding half worried, half annoyed. 

"With a friend, I'll be home soon," I said before hanging up. 

Zac had kept walking although I stopped when I answered my phone. I ran to catch up. 

"Just a friend hey," he asked, a cheeky glint in his eye. 

"No," I replied, grabbing his hand a gently pulling him towards me. 

"Not if you want to be more," I added, as I reached up and stroked his cheek. 

Our lips were almost touching when we heard a loud crash coming from inside Zac's house, which I hadn't even realised we were in front of. 

"Dad?" Zac called out, running inside. I followed him, only not quite so fast, and found him bent over his Dad who had fallen to the floor. 

"Lil, he's not breathing. What do I do?" he asked, panicking. I handed him my phone. 

"Call an ambulance," I said as I dropped to my knees next to his Dad. I had done a CPR course about six months before so I checked his airways and breathed into his mouth before beginning the chest palpitations. 

"The ambulance is on its way Lil, I'm scared," Zac said as a single tear rolled down his face. 

"I know. It will be ok," I told him, hoping that it would be. 

I continued doing CPR on Zac's Dad until the ambulance arrived. He still hadn't started breathing when they had. 

~*~ Zac ~*~

When the ambulance arrived, one of the officers knew Lilliahna and called her Mum while the other continued the CPR on Dad. I just stood there shocked. After ten minutes the kind woman officer, the one who knew Lilli, came over to me as I watched horrified as the man ceased the CPR. 

"I'm sorry hun, we've lost him. His heart just won't start again. Even if we managed to at this late stage, he hasn't had much oxygen for almost half an hour and his brain would be damaged. There isn't anything else we can do. Is there someone I can call for you...?" she asked reaching out to take my arm. 

I turned around. I didn't want to talk to her. My eyes scanned the room for Lilli. I saw her in the corner talking to a woman I didn't recognise but was obviously her Mum. I overheard her yelling out no but then everything went blurry. 

"Whoa mate its ok. You're in shock. Lean against me..." she gently pulled on my shoulders so we were sitting on the floor and she was supporting my back. Lilli ran over to me and knelt down beside me. She was crying. 

"I'm sorry Zac, I tried my hardest, I really did..." she stopped, she couldn't say the words, she was crying too much. 

I reached out for her as silent tears began to run down my face. She threw her arms around my neck and squeezed me hard. 

"I know you did Lilliahna. I know," I whispered in her ear. I don't know how long we stayed like that but it didn't feel like very long before Lil's Mum was pulling her away and the ambulance officer was helping me to my feet. 

"We are taking you to the hospital tonight because of the shock and the head injuries that you have. Tomorrow we will sort out something else." 

But I wasn't really listening. Lilli was being dragged to her car by her Mum, but she was not going without a fight. I just nodded slowly before allowing myself to be led away by the nice woman.

~*~ Lilliahna ~*~

I didn't want to go and leave Zac by himself. There was no way that I was going. I hated that I was forced to go. This was totally unfair. 

I looked out the back window as Mum drove me away. She was saying something to me but I couldn't hear what she said. Zac's face said it all. His heart had just been torn out and stepped on and now he was alone in this big world. It wasn't fair. I started crying again and turned to face Mum. 

"What did you say?" I asked, through my tears. 

"I just told you that I don't want you hanging around with him in the future. He will probably turn out like his Dad and I don't want you being messed up with people like that." 

"Mum? Are you serious? He has no one left in this world to care about him. His Mum died from cancer not very long ago and because he was heartbroken, his Dad turned to alcohol. They had a fight tonight and that's why his Dad had drunken so much. 

"How can I not see him or hang around with him? That is so unfair. How is he going to cope with all this if he doesn't even have a friend?" I yelled at her. 

We pulled up home then and I went inside, slamming the front door behind me, in Mums face, and waking up Issy. Dad tried to talk to me but I just stormed past him and slammed my bedroom door, causing Issy to cry. 

I threw myself on my bed and cried myself to sleep. I had no intention of listening to what my mother told me. Sometimes life could be so cruel.

Lilliahna & Zac Ch. 01



~Thanks to everyone for their feedback so far, it's nice to hear that you like my story. This chapter is only short, but the next one is almost done, so I hope to have it up soon. Happy reading :D~

~*~ Lilliahna ~*~

It was ten past nine when Zac arrived. We were in Maths and I was trying to concentrate on what Mr Mackenzie was telling us but I kept thinking of Zac. I definitely didn't expect to see him this morning. 

I looked up and he was standing in front of me. He looked like absolute shit, which made me want to hug him until it was all ok. But now was not the time to do that. 

"I really need to talk to you," he said, barely a whisper. 

I looked into his eyes and saw so much pain that I nearly started crying again. I looked over to Mr Mackenzie. He nodded and without a word, I got up and followed Zac outside, closing the door behind me. 

"How are you?" I asked. He shrugged and reached for my hand. I looked at it and then into his eyes before throwing my arms around him and bursting into tears. 

Mrs James tapped on my shoulder and I, reluctantly, let Zac go. 

"Zac, we need to talk. Come with me," she said kindly, putting her hand behind him to guide him. 

"Only if Lilliahna comes too," he said. Mrs James nodded and we headed for her office. 

~*~ Zac ~*~

I wasn't really expecting her to come out of class; I just needed to see her, to look into her caring green eyes. I did not want to talk to Mrs James but I guess she just wanted to try and help me, although I didn't know how she could. 

When we got to her office, Lilliahna explained why the principal had asked Mrs James to come and find me to talk to me. Then she sat in the chair next to me and didn't say another word. 

I found it really hard to start talking but once I had started, I was okay. By the end of it all, I was crying and Lilliahna had both her arms wrapped around me. 

"It's ok," She whispered to me through her own tears. "It will be okay."

Mrs James finally put down the phone and turned to us. By then I had stopped crying but Lilliahna still had her arms around me.

"Do you have any relatives near-by?" she asked me. I shook my head wondering where this was going. 

"We don't want to upset you more by taking you out of this school, the only normal thing left in your life at the moment and putting you into a new one. When were you eighteen?" "A couple months ago. Why is that important?" I asked confused. 

"I was just talking to a DOCS member. They said if you were 18, you could stay in your parents' house. You won't have to worry about rent as the house is in your parents names and they have both left you quite a large amount of money so you'll be able to finish school and go on to further study, if that's what you want. The other option is going to live with a family member until you're ready to live alone. 

"I know how weird this must be for you Zac, but just think about it all ok. If you have, any questions just come and ask me. Anytime you need. Yeah?" She asked. I just nodded. There was so much to think about. 

"Of course you would also qualify for youth allowance so that may help make your decision easier. In the mean time, I would like to talk to Lilliahna. Could you wait outside please Zac?" she asked. He frowned, looked at me and then shrugged before heading out the door.

~*~ Lilliahna ~*~

I was really surprised when Mrs James asked to speak to me. She asked if I could take Zac to the beach, or somewhere that was peaceful and private where we could sit and talk. 

"That's what he needs right now; a friend. Nothing more, that would just be taking advantage of him, but just someone that he knows and feels safe turning to if he needs," Mrs James told me. I had no objections to being there for him. After all, I had liked him before all this started and I wasn't going to stop now. If anything, it all just made me love him more. 

~*~ Zac ~*~

"Hey, do you want to go to the beach and talk about all this?" She asked me. 

"No Lilliahna. I just want to go home." 

"Do you want me..." but before she could finish I cut her off.

"No! I want to be alone. I just need you to promise that when I am ready to talk you will be ready to listen," I said, looking desperately into her eyes. She nodded without saying anything and I turned around. I felt like I was going to cry again and I didn't want her to see that.

When I got home, I went inside and looked around at everything.

"Why did you do it Dad? Why?" I asked aloud before lying on the floor, crying, blaming myself. Eventually I drifted off to sleep.



Lilliahna & Zac Ch. 02



~*~ Zac ~*~

When someone knocked at the front door, I jumped. I wasn't expecting anyone to come and see me.

"Come in," I called out as I sat up and wiped away the tears that had stayed on my face while I slept. I heard the front door open and close. 

"I'm in here," I told whoever it was that had come to see me. I looked up as Lilliahna came in. 

"I know you don't want company but there's something I have to say before I lose my courage. This is probably an inappropriate time but when I was hugging you today I wanted so much more so..." She sat down next to me and reached out. 

"I do really like you Zac, I think I might even love you," She whispered into my ear before gently pressing her lips against mine. 

"I know I love you," I murmured into her lips. 

She smiled and allowed the kiss to grow deeper, slipping her tongue between my lips. I wrapped my arms around her to pull her closer to me and she slid her hands down my chest and up under my shirt. This was so great but terrible at the same time. She really cared about me; I could tell by the way she was softly caressing my skin. 

She caressed me in a way like Mum used to, only Lil was doing in a way that Mum couldn't, a sensual way that stirred the centre of my being, creating a warm feeling that was so powerful that a soft, happy sigh escaped from my lips and a bulge began to form within my pants.

~*~ Lilliahna ~*~

I know that I shouldn't have gone around there. I know that I shouldn't have taken advantage of Zac in this horrible situation. But I did. I sat up quickly when I realised what was really happening. I wasn't expecting his reaction to be quite so strong. 

"I'm sorry," I said. 

"Its fine Lilli, I wanted it too," Zac assured me as he leant over to kiss me. Of course, I kissed him back. 

"Knock, knock," Someone called out from the door. 

"Come in," Zac replied, with a confused look on his face. I looked up as someone entered the room. That someone turned out to be Kylie, Summer, Olivia, Billy, Adam and Chris; my group from school. 

"What's going on guys?" I asked them as I stood up. 

"We've been looking for you Lilliahna," Billy shared with me. 

"Why?" I asked as he casually slung his arm around my shoulder. We had this thing for each other back in Year Seven and although it never went anywhere, I still loved the way he said my name.

"'Cause I've finally decided that I would ask you out. Five years of you teasing me and getting away with it? I don't think so babe," he replied with his cheeky grin. A long lasting joke between us. Zac didn't know about it and his face fell for a moment, until he realised that it actually was a joke. 

"Uh-huh," I replied raising my eyebrows. 

"Nah, did you forget about our weekly basketball game?" Billy asked as that others laughed at Zac's reaction. 

"Yeah I did, where's Chad?" I asked. 

"He couldn't make it," Adam filled me in. 

"He's too busy packing 'cause his family is moving in a few days." 

"Oh, mk," I said. 

"Zac is gunna fill in for him though so it should be cool," commented Chris. I looked over to Zac. He just nodded in disbelief. I think I could understand why he was disbelieving too. 

"Great, let's go," said Summer turning around and heading out the door. I pulled Zac to his feet and off we went. 

~*~ Zac ~*~

I was annoyed when someone came in, but it all turned out ok. I was playing basketball with the most popular group in the entire school. I think some people might even kill to be in my position. 

We started playing against the girls and it was good because it gave me a chance to brush up on my basketball skills and just pretend that I was merely taking it easy on the girls. It didn't last long though because they didn't want to sweat off their make-up. We guys then continued playing two on two. Shirts vs. Skins. 

"Hey Zac, you can double with me. Now we can play good-looking guys onto the dopey-looking ones," Billy joked. He sure had a lot of confidence. 

"Fine with us, but if you two are so good-looking you can go skins and we'll ask what the girls think." Billy shrugged and pulled of his shirt and flexed his muscles for the chicks. They cheered, building his ego. Like he needed it. 

Ok, my turn. I pulled of my shirt and turned to face the girls. Not a sound. This can't be good. The boys didn't say anything either. 

"Um..." I said feeling totally uncomfortable. 

"Billy, I think you have some new competition," commented Kylie, giving me the thumbs-up. Summer whistled and Olivia blew me a kiss. Lilliahna just stared at me. Uncomfortable with all the attention on me I suggested that we played. But I was having fun, I finally felt accepted.

~*~ Lilliahna ~*~

I was happy when the guys asked Zac to come and play Basketball with us. It would give them a chance to get to know him. Zac was okay at the game but you could tell that he hadn't played in a long time. The guys had heaps more energy than us girls, when didn't they? 

We ended up heading for the grass to chat, leaving them to get rid of it all. They caught our attention when Billy started flexing his muscles. He had the best body in our class. He worked hard for it too. I was curious to see what Zac had to show and when he pulled his shirt off everyone was speechless. You could see he was uncomfortable. Kylie saved him by making a funny comment and everyone relaxed, I was still too stunned to say anything. Who knew little Zac had abs like that hiding under his shirt? Dad interrupted my thoughts by calling me. 

"Hello?" I answered. 

"Hey Lil, where are you? You didn't come home after school today?" He asked. 

"Sorry Dad, I'm at the basketball courts like I am every other Wednesday night," I told him. 

"I'm sorry Lil, I forgot. Don't forget about your date tonight," he reminded me, hanging up. I won't, I thought. How could I? I looked at time. It was 4:30. 

The guys came over to us shortly afterwards to let us know that they were puffed. It sure took them long enough. 

"Who's up for a drink?" Chris asked. Everyone nodded. 

"I can't guys, sorry, Dad just rang and he wants me to come home now. I'm over the whole babysitting duties," I laughed. 

"What about you Zac," Billy asked him. "You gunna come with us and show people that there is more than one hot guy in this group?"

"Nah, thanks guys but I have to go and start organising Dad's funeral. Thanks for the game though. It really helped to clear my head. Lilli, can you still help me with it all, I don't think I can face it on my own," Zac asked. I nodded while the others just looked at him. 

~*~ Zac ~*~

By the end of the game I was pretty happy and didn't think things could get any better. But I thought wrong. Getting accepted by this particular group of people was a dream come true. But then being told I was part of the gang and the chance to continue hanging out with them was awesome. I remembered the funeral arrangements that had to be made, the people that I had to inform. It couldn't wait. 

They offered to walk us back to Lilli's house and I knew that it wouldn't be long before they sussed us out but hopefully it would take a few days at least. 

"So Zac," Billy started. "When are you letting us all know that you have stolen my little sweetheart out from under my nose and that you two are the hot new item in our class?" 

"We're together?" I asked back, please let Lilli's house be soon. 

"Yeah, I saw you two making out out-side the maths room today." He grinned. 

"Billy, stop it," said Summer, obviously sensing how uncomfortable I was. 

"Ok, just for you Sum, I'll stop tormenting the poor lad. Looks a bit like a scared little rabbit at the moment though," he continued joking. 

"Billy," Kylie and Olivia warned him. At least someone was sticking up for me, Lilliahna was just laughing. 

"Here we are, bye guys," Lilli said as she opened the gate to what I suppose was her house and headed for the door. 

"Thanks again for the game. Catchya tomorrow at school," I told them before following Lil.



Lilliahna & Zac Ch. 03



*Hey guys, sorry this has taken so long to put up, i had university exams then my net died at home. I have a few chapters ready though. Hope you like them. :)*

~*~ Lilliahna ~*~

"Mum? Dad? I'm home," I called out as I headed for the kitchen. No one answered and the house was quiet so I figured that no one was home. Then I found the note telling me that they had gone to Grandma's for tea and that they hopefully wouldn't be too late. 

"Looks like I'm home alone," I said as I looked up from the note to see Zac looking at me with a cheeky smile on his face. 

"What?" I asked him suspiciously. 

"You look really cute when you're concentrating on stuff, Lilliahna," he said sexily as he came over to give me a hug. 

I just shook my head, a smile spreading across my lips. 

"Did you want a drink or something?" I asked him as I broke the hug and headed for the fridge. 

"Yes please," he replied. 

"Um, we don't have much. Coke or apple juice?" 

"Juice please," he said. 

"Did you want to go and grab your school books so we can do some homework too?" I asked him once he had finished his drink. 

"Yeah, I'll quickly run home, I won't be long." Awesome, I thought. That would give me time to clean my room quickly. Well, at least it would give me enough time to pick my underwear up off the floor and stash it somewhere. 

Zac was back before I knew it; it wasn't really that far to his house, I just thought that he wouldn't have any energy left after the basketball game. I guess I was wrong.

"Come on," I said as I headed to my bedroom. 

"I always study in my room, it's pretty messy but as long as it doesn't bother you, it doesn't bother me." Zac just shrugged so I opened the door and dropped my bag on the floor. 

~*~ Zac ~*~

I wasn't sure whether or not I should go in her room. I'm an only child so I've never actually been in a girls' room before. Lilli didn't seem to worry about it so I tried not to either. I went over to her bed and just looked at her. 

"You are allowed to sit down," she said with a gentle laugh. 

I put my bag down next to her bed and then cupped her face in my hands and kissed her. She wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me on top of her. She was kissing me so passionately and pushing her body so hard against mine that I started to become turned on and embarrassed. 

"I'm sorry baby; I'm not ready for this..." I couldn't tell her. How do you tell the most amazing girl, who probably has nothing that she isn't confident about that you are too worried you won't be good enough for her to do anything other than kiss and cuddle? 

I could feel myself start to swell and harden and didn't want to be too small, not live up to her expectations. I mean, Lilli wasn't my going to be my first, but I really wanted her to be happy. 

"Zac?" Lil asked me with a confused look on her face. "What's wrong?" 

"I...it doesn't matter, we should get a start on our homework," I suggested, not able to look her in the eyes. She wriggled over to me and made me look at her. 

"What is it Zacy? You can tell me anything," she prompted. 

"It's just I'm worried I'm not gunna be good enough for you Lil, you're so amazing and I'm me, it's scary not knowing what you expect from me, what your expectations are for stuff we do together, it's silly I know," I faltered, unable to look at her anymore. She did what I expected. 

"Zac, you're a silly little ducky aren't you? The only thing I expect from you is that you are going to be you. To be truly honest I haven't done anything with a guy except kiss him, I haven't even let anyone put their hands under my clothes. But you, with you I just get this feeling of fire, this itch, it's like if I don't have more of you I'll die. I haven't ever felt this feeling before but I definitely like it. Trust me, whatever happens, I will definitely not be disappointed. Okay?" She asked, kissing my cheek. 

I nodded and gently kissed her forehead. She closed her eyes and sighed quietly. I totally believed her and all my fears disappeared. 

"How about we get something to eat?" Lil suggested after an hour of homework. "I don't know what we have to eat though." 

After looking through all her cupboards she suggested toasted cheese sandwiches and chocolate thick shakes. 

"It's not as good as what our date would have been," Lil said laughing. 

"Your right, it's better," I said hugging her from behind as she made the sandwiches. 

After we had finished eating and put the few dishes we had made in the dishwasher, Lil suggested that we watched a movie. 

"Any preferences?" she asked me. 

"Something scary..." I hinted with a wink. 

"Mk," she replied holding up 'Jeepers Creepers'. I nodded sitting on the couch. She soon joined me, after turning out the lights, of course. 

~*~ Lilliahna ~*~

I had already seen this movie to know that it wasn't really that scary but any reason to snuggle up to Zac. 

The movie had nearly finished, at a really scary bit, when Mum and Dad arrived home. Mum was getting Issy out of the car; it was Dad who found us. 

"Lilliahna, what are you doing? Get to bed now. Young man I think it was time you got home. Its ten thirty, your parents will be worried about you!" Dad yelled. 

Zac looked at me, his eyes glistening. He opened his mouth to say something, changed his mind and left; passing Mum at the front door. She frowned. 

"How could you Dad? He has no parents to worry about him. We were making arrangements for his Dad's funeral; I suggested we watch a movie to take his mind off things. His Mum died three months ago and his Dad, heartbroken, drowned his sorrows in alcohol and OD'ed two days ago and he died," Mum cut me off there. 

"And I told you already that you weren't to hang out with him or have anything to do with him. Now do what your father said and just get to bed. We will discuss this tomorrow." 

"No we won't. There doesn't need to be a discussion about this. I'm eighteen now and am well and truly old enough to choose my own friends and boyfriends without your opinions affecting my decision. Bye," I said, quickly getting his school bag and jacket from my room before running out the front door, slamming it behind me before they had a chance to say anything. I ran after Zac, hoping he had headed home. 

"Zac?" I called out as I saw a figure walking ahead of me. He turned around and I threw myself into his arms. 

"I'm so sorry," I sobbed into his shoulder. He just hugged me, his own tears forgotten in his worry for me.

~*~ Zac ~*~

Everything was great until her parents got home. I can understand where they were coming from, I mean if it was my daughter alone in the dark snuggled up to some guy I didn't know I'd be a bit upset too. He didn't know about my situation. But still, it hurt. 

I didn't expect Lil to be chasing after me either. That thought didn't even cross my mind but my heart went out to her and I momentarily forgot about what her Dad had said about my parents. I just held her until the tears had stopped flowing and her breathing returned to normal. 

She started shivering so I wrapped my jacket around her, ignoring the cold I was feeling myself, and told her she should go home. 

"No, I'm never going home. I'm going to live with you," she replied stubbornly. 

"Lil, baby, you can't. Come with me," I said gently taking her hand, she was obviously really upset. 

"You aren't going to like me very much for this," I added, as I picked up my school bag and headed in the direction of her house. 

She must have been exhausted as she just meekly followed me. Poor little thing. She's been through just as much as me, but on top of it all her parents were being difficult. 

"Lil?" her Dad said as he answered the door. 

"I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused," I said, before he could get a word in. 

"I just want to let you know that you have an amazing daughter and I love her very much. I hope you can get past my unfortunate family life and get to know me before you ban Lilliahna from having anything to do with me." 

I then turned to Lil and took her other hand in my own. 

"Baby, go to bed, you're tired. I'll see you in the morning. Okay?" I asked her. She shook her head. 

"No, I'm not letting go of your hands," she told us, frowning in determination. Her Dad went to say something but I cut him off. 

"You don't have a choice Lil. You have to go to bed now and I need to go home. But I promise I'll see you tomorrow after you have had a good night's sleep. You are not thinking clearly," I told her before kissing her tenderly on her forehead and letting go of her hand. 

"Goodnight Mr Thomas. Again I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused," I told him as I turned to leave. 

"Thank-you for bringing my daughter home Zac," he said as he let Lil inside and closed the door. 

"You're welcome," I said softly as I began to walk away.



Lilliahna & Zac Ch. 04



~*~ Lilliahna ~*~

I woke up the next morning with my clothes from last night still on and I remembered the way I acted. I sighed and got out of bed. 

"Mum? Dad?" I called out gently as I opened the door to their room. 

"I'm sorry about the way I acted last night. It was immature of me." 

They said it was okay and that they needed to talk to me after school. I nodded and headed for the bathroom. It would take a long hot shower and a tonne of make-up for me to look respectable today but thankfully I pulled it off. 

I was just ready to leave when I heard a quiet knock on the door. It was Zac. 

"Bye Mum, Bye Dad," I called out as I closed the door behind me. 

"Zac, I'm sorry about the way I acted last night..." I began but he cut me off. 

"Hey it's okay. You were tired and had been through a lot," he said gently. I smiled at him and took his hand. 

"I love you Zac," I said. 

"I've waited so long to hear that Lilliahna; I love you too." 

~*~ Zac ~*~

As we got closer to the school I let go of Lilliahna's hand. She looked at me slightly confused but she didn't say anything. I think she wanted to let the whole world know but I was still unsure where I stood with the guys and wanted to suss that out first. 

"Lil, quick, come here," Summer called out as soon as she saw us. Lil went over to her, leaving me alone. Not for long. 

"So matey, where's your girlfriend?" Billy asked me. 

"With Summer," I said before I realised what I had said. 

"So you two are actually together then?" Adam asked. I shrugged. 

"I guess," I said unsurely. 

"That's awesome, now you can join our gang and be stuck with us guys," Chris added laughing. I smiled. 

"Here come our gorgeous buddies." Billy said nodding over my shoulder. I felt arms around my waist and smiled. 

"Hi guys," she said. 

"Hey Lil," Billy said. 

"Just letting you know that we've voted on the whole 'Zac Thing'" commented Adam. 

"He's definitely good enough for you. We are not a hundred percent sure on this, but we get the impression that he probably deserves better then you," Chris joked. Lil laughed and hugged me tighter. 

The bell went and we headed for class.

~*~ Lilliahna ~*~

Olivia, Summer, Kylie and I all had Art first up, which gave us all a chance to talk. The Art class was quite small, with Stacey, Laura and Amanda being the only other people. 

"So Lilliahna, what happened between you and Zac?" asked Kylie. 

"What do you mean?" I asked her. 

"Well as far as I know you never even liked him. Now you are together." Olivia looked as confused as Kylie did but Summer just smiled. 

"You guys call yourselves Lil's best friends and you didn't pick up on how much she liked Zac?" she teased them. I laughed as realisation finally dawned on their faces. 

"I guess now that you have said something I can see want you're on about. But I always thought you and Billy would hook up again," Kylie told us. 

"Yeah, that was the obvious thing that should happen hey," I said thinking about it. 

"So how did the funeral plans go last night," Summer asked me quietly. 

"I know you don't want to talk about it Lil but how are you involved? We're your best friends, you can tell us." 

"Well, I guess. It's kinda out now anyway hey. Here's how it goes: I finally plucked up the courage to let Zac know that I liked him and everything was going well. I rang him Wednesday night after I'd done my homework to see if we could catch up and he sounded really upset so I went to park 'cause that's where he said he was. 

"When I found him he had blood in his hair and a cut that was pretty bad on the back of his head. I tried to get him to go to hospital to be checked but he wouldn't let me. 

"You see, after his Mum died 3 months ago his Dad, who was heartbroken, turned to alcohol and became an alcoholic. When he drunk he got violent and Zac must have upset him somehow and anyways his Dad was the reason he was hurt. 

"In the end, I walked Zac home and flirted with him heaps. We almost kissed when there was this bang from inside Zac's house. We ran inside and his Dad was on the ground not breathing. Zac called an ambulance while I began CPR on his Dad. By the time the ambulance had arrived he still hadn't started breathing and he was pronounced dead. 

"To make things even better Mum banned me from seeing him, which sucked, but there was no way I was going to stop seeing him. Last night after you guys walked us home we just chilled out and did homework, Mum and Dad weren't home. They got home later and found us snuggled up watching a movie and spat it at me. 

"Dad said some horrible stuff, not meaning to of course, and upset Zac and I got really annoyed and ran off to find him but then Zac took me home and told my Dad how much he loved me. Then he left. Now Mum and Dad want to talk to me after school. That's 'bout it really," I said. 

"OMG Lil. Poor Zac, I had no idea. He doesn't seem all that upset," commented Olivia. 

"I know, I mean he's cried a bit but I don't think that it has sunken in very well yet. When it does he's gunna be a mess," I said. 

"So, does he have any relatives nearby or is he moving?" Kylie asked me. 

"He hasn't got any nearby, the closest are in Adelaide. He doesn't know what he's gunna do yet and honestly I think that that particular problem is the last thing on his mind." 

"So the reason he never hung around with people was because he was always caring for his Mum in his spare time and then she died and his Dad became an alcoholic so he cared for him and then his Dad died?" Summer asked me. I nodded. 

"Well now he can be part of our little family." Kylie and Olivia agreed and the guys kinda said this morning that they were happy for Zac to hang with us. I guess it would all work out ok.

~*~ Zac ~*~

This was the only class Adam, Billy, Chris and I were all in. What subject? Physical Education, of course. 

Until now the teams were even, those guys had Chad with them too and I went with the 'others' or the unpopular people of our grade but not anymore, Chad had left and I was now him, in a sense. 

"Zac, buddy, can you answer a question for me?" Billy asked as Adam and Chris went and set up the field for a quick game of soccer. 

"Uh, yeah I guess. What is on your mind?" I asked him. 

"Well, as you know Lil and I had something a long time ago but I never got a chance to even kiss her while we were an item, I was wondering if she was any good? I know this sounds really rude but..." 

"Hey Billy, it's ok, I understand. She is the most awesome kisser in the universe. How's that? She turns me on so fast," then I stopped coz Billy was looking upset. 

"You're not over her yet are you?" I asked him. He shook his head. 

"Don't worry Zac, I'm not gunna do anything to try and get her away from you, you two are a great couple. It's just that I've tried to get over her but haven't managed too." 

"That's okay Billy, I trust you. I'm sorry," I said. 

"Thanks for not getting all shitty at me mate; I just felt that I needed to be honest with you." 

"I appreciate it," I said as Mr Jamo called us together. Poor Billy, I knew what it was like to have strong feelings for someone and those feelings weren't returned.

~*~ Lilliahna ~*~

At lunch Zac and the guys were already at our spot on the edge of the oval kicking the footy and tackling each other. Every time I saw him I was so glad that he was mine. 

"Lil," he called out as he saw me and jogged over to us. 

"Hey gorgeous," he said kissing me. 

"Hey yourself," I replied, kissing him back. 

"If this is all you guys are gunna do now that you're the new item you can forget hanging out with us. It's not cool guys," Summer told us. 

"Sorry," we both said. 

"Lil, I need to talk to you," Zac said looking into my eyes. "Please." 

I looked at the other girls and they continued on their way. 

"What is it?" I asked him, worried. 

"I was talking to Billy earlier and he told me that he does still have feelings for you. He also said he wouldn't do anything about them and I trust him but I was just letting you know. Also, I love you. I haven't been able to stop thinking about you Lilli baby," he said pulling me towards him. 

"Really?" I asked back. 

"How could I stop? You are so amazing and beautiful and mine..." I stopped him there by kissing him. And kissing him and kissing him. 

"Ahem," Someone's fake cough interrupted us. 

"Hi Mr West," I said with a smile. I was his favourite student; I would get away with it. This time. 

"Lilli, you know better than to make out in the presence of junior primary kids now don't you?" he asked, smiling. 

"Yeah I do. I'm sorry." 

"I'm going to let you off this time but don't let it happen again. Otherwise it will have to be a detention, okay. That goes for you too Mr Davidson." Zac nodded. He was actually looking kind of pink. 

"Ok, go and enjoy your lunch. Bye." 

"Seya," we both said before joining the others. 

"Lil, did you get a detention?" I shook my head. 

"Of course she didn't, it was Mr West. The day he gives Lil a detention I'll do something," Olivia said. 

"Yeah what?" Kylie asked her. 

"I don't know. I'd have to think of something equally shocking first," Olivia laughed and we all joined in. They were right.

~*~ Zac ~*~

After lunch our group all had a free lesson. I couldn't be bothered doing study, but for some strange reason the girls decided they would head for the library. 

"So Zac," Billy began, once they were out of earshot. "What are your plans with Lil?" 

"What are you, her father?" I asked cheekily. Chris laughed and Adam offered a high-five. 

"Ok smarty pants, if that's the way you want to play this..." And then Billy jumped at me, I think I may have screamed in surprise, at least Chris tells me I did. Even though they think I did it on purpose to be silly, I wasn't about to tell them otherwise. 

Billy was in the throes of pretending to hit me over the head when the principal walked in to talk to me. 

"Billy. Up. Now." Chris and Adam were behind him, so he couldn't see what they were doing, which was probably a good thing as they were silently laughing so hard I thought they may end up not breathing. 

"Zac, do you mind explaining what the problem is here?" he asked me, sounding serious but there was a slightly amused look on his face. Only very slightly though. 

"Nothing, sir, we were just mucking around. Having a bit of stress relief from...everything." Mr Johns nodded. 

"Ok Zac, that's fine, Billy get back to work. Zac you're gunna need to come with me, I need to talk to you about some things." I just nodded and followed him. 

If anyone else had said that line to the principal they would have been in a lot of trouble for wasting 'precious study time' but I was able to get away with it due to my 'circumstances' which everyone keeps referring too. It makes me feel as though I am retarded every time someone begins to talk like this to me. 

"So Zac, how are you going?" Mr Johns asked me as we sat down in his office. 

"Yeah I'm doing quite good considering," I told him, which was mostly true. I mean, I felt horrible about Dad but now I had Lilli, and Dads sudden death hasn't really sunken in yet, I don't know what will happen when it does. 

"Billy was really play fighting with you wasn't he? I mean, you didn't just say that so he wouldn't do something to you later did you?" 

"No Mr Johns, I didn't. I'm hanging out with them now, thanks to Lilliahna. She's been my little angel throughout all this." 

"Really? Are you two together?" he asked curiously. 

"Yeah we are, as of today it's been official." 

"That's really good, she's a very caring young lady," Mr Johns said smiling. The bell rang. 

"I had better let you go now Zac, but feel free to come and talk to me anytime ok." 

"Yeah I will, thank-you," I said genuinely as I got up and left. He is quite nice... for a principle. 

~*~ Lilliahna ~*~

After chatting to the others for a little while I decided it was time for me to head home and see what my parents wanted to talk to me about. Zac said he would walk me home so we said goodbye and set off. 

"Baby, we haven't really talked about it, how are you going? You know, with all that has happened?" I asked him, taking his hand in mine and squeezing it. 

"Yeah, it still hasn't hit me that he's gone, that I have no-one anymore. But you have had a lot to do with that Lilliahna," he said with a stern tone in his voice. 

"Huh?" 

"That's right, you have occupied so many of my thoughts over the last few days that I haven't really had time to think about it. Thoughts which haven't exactly been that innocent," he added, pulling me to a stop just before we reached my house. 

"Really? What should I be doing about that then?" I asked him cheekily. Zac didn't answer; instead he pulled me to him and kissed me. I had my arms circled around his waist and pulled him closer to me. 

"Oh, Lilliahna, I love you. I know we haven't been together for very long at all, but it feels so good with you, like I've known you forever, I want to show you how much you mean to me baby," he murmured into my lips. 

"Zac, baby, be patient, it will happen when it happens ok?" I said, pulling back from him. 

"But right now I need to find out what my parents want to talk to me about and hope like hell that they let me stay with you," I kissed him again and gave him a hug. 

"I might come and visit you later ok. Otherwise I'll text you," I told Zac as I headed for the front door. 

"Bye Lilli baby," he called out with a wink. 

"Mum? Dad? I'm home," I called out as I closed the front door behind me. 

"Kitchen honey," Dad called out. I took a deep breath as I headed into the kitchen and sat down. 

"So what was it that you wanted to talk to me about?" I asked them, crossing my fingers under the table. 

"The whole Zac thing, we've talked about it and have decided you are right, you are old enough to choose who you see, we just aren't quite ready to accept that fact that you're not our little girl anymore. We're sorry Lilliahna," Dad told me. 

"We know we can't stop you from doing anything and you will probably do things that we won't necessarily approve of, but we were doing exactly that at your age. What Zac said to your father the other night when he brought you home, it made us realise that he does care about you, so we want to get to know him and be there for him in this difficult time." 

"Thank-you so much, I love you both," I said hugging them. 

"Off you go sweetheart, go see your man, help him with the plans, be there for him," Mum said, handing me a lasagne and a container of chocolate muffins. 

"What's this for?" I asked her. 

"God knows how long it's been since he had a decent meal he hasn't had to cook." I laughed; she was such a good Mum. I ran out the front door. It had been an hour since Zac had dropped me off; I wonder what he was doing.



Lilliahna & Zac Ch. 05



~*~ Zac ~*~

Ok, I said to myself as I sat down at the table with the phone and a phonebook, time to start planning. I rang the funeral home and booked a time so now I had to inform the rellies. I got through the phone calls to my grandparents and as I hung up on my Dad's big brother, my uncle I started crying. 

It was for real; he wasn't coming home. 

I put my head in my hands and cried. I didn't hear the door open, or Lilliahna come in. I wasn't even aware someone else was in the room with me until arms circled around me and a kiss was placed on my head. 

"Baby, shhh, it will get better. I know it hurts now, but in time it will stop hurting so much," she said. I stood up, breaking the hug and turned to face her. 

"I can't do this Lil; I cannot call another relative, another family member, and tell them about the funeral and hear their sympathetic voice over the phone. I know it's selfish but I just can't do it." She grabbed me and pulled me to her. 

"Baby, I hate seeing you so upset, I wish there was something I could do to take away this pain, but there isn't and it hurts so much," She told me. I was crying so much that I couldn't say anything so I hugged her harder. When the tears finally stopped and I let her go, she told me what was going to happen. It was my turn to be looked after for a change. 

"Ok, write down the names and numbers of the people you still need to call. I'll be back in a minute ok?" She said as she headed for the kitchen. I wrote down the names of my aunties and uncles that said they would come over for the funeral, as well as those of a couple of friends he had left. By the time I had done that, Lil had returned. 

"OK," She told me. "We need to go shopping, you have nothing in your fridge that's edible; everything was slimy so I threw it out. Well go and do that soon ok, but I want you to go and have a hot shower while I work out what we need. Do you have a certain limit of what you can spend?" she asked me. I shook my head.

"Ok, of you go, have a nice hot shower." I nodded but didn't go anywhere; I was still in shock that she was doing all this for me.

~*~ Lilliahna ~*~

After a few minutes, Zac still hadn't moved so I decided to help him. 

"Come on baby," I said, taking his hand and pulling him to his feet. 

"Let's go." There was no resistance, so I took him to the bathroom and turned on the hot water. He was still just standing there. I pulled his shirt over his head and undid his jeans. Nothing. So I completely undressed him and my breath caught in my throat. 

Zac had a great body, he was turning me on fast, and he wasn't even trying too. 

"Baby?" I asked him as I kissed him. "You alive?" He nodded and shook his head, as if he was bringing himself out of a daydream. 

"Um...?" he looked down and what he was wearing, or wasn't wearing, and looked at me. 

"What are you planning to do to me Lil?" he asked, reaching for me, obviously getting over his shock. 

"Put you in the shower and take you shopping. Oh, and to look after you of course," I said cheekily as I let him draw me to his naked body. I kissed him, wound his hair through my fingers and pushed my body hard against his. I was so tempted, but there wasn't time right now. I could feel him becoming hard, pushing against my thigh, pulling me closer to him. Breaking the kiss was hard, but I had to. 

"Shower, now," I said, gently pushing him away. "Wash your hair, and then come and find me ok. We need to get some food for you, along with other stuff." 

"Babe, there isn't shampoo, or conditioner, I used it all. In fact, there isn't anything. I haven't been shopping in that long. You don't even want to go in the laundry, there are that many clothes stacked up in there," Zac told me as he stepped under the hot, steamy water. 

"Ok, so we need to get lots?" I asked him. 

"Yeah, but it's ok, I have the money, and while we are at it, what did you parents say about us?" he turned to look at me. 

"They said it was fine, they sent me here to look after you." His face said it all. 

"Ok, enough talk, I'm gunna go and finish your calls and then we are going to the shop." I went out of the bathroom, closed the door and headed for the dining room.

~*~ Zac ~*~

When I got out of the shower, and had put on the cleanest clothes I could find; I went to find Lil. She had just finished the last phone call as I walked into the dining room. 

"Ok, everyone is coming and I said they could all stay here. Your house is big enough." I nodded, with four bedrooms, an office with a fold out sofa bed and a rumpus room I'm sure we would find room for everyone. I looked at the time. It was six o'clock. Good thing it was late night shopping tonight. 

"I hope you don't mind baby but I went through all your rooms to work out what we need to buy," she told me hesitantly. I shook my head and laughed. 

"You know, I was thinking, I want this to be your house too, so when we are down the street will also buy all the things you girls need, just so you have them here ok?" I told her. She hugged me, not saying anything. 

"Baby, let's go and have some fun," I said mischievously. 

We took Dad's car down to the mall, as it would make it easier to get everything back here. 

"Where to first?" I asked her as we got out of the car. 

"This may sound silly but I want to get new sheets for your parents' room and a new everything. So we can sleep there. Is that ok?" She asked me. I just nodded, but didn't say anything. It had caught me off guard. It would be good though, with all the family coming. 

"Are you sure Zac? I mean, we don't have too," she said uneasily. 

"Yes, baby. We'll get whatever you want ok. Don't worry about the cost." She grabbed my hand. After the new sheets, in soft pink and a chocolate brown quilt cover, new pillows and a new quilt, we put it in the car and headed for Woolworths. 

"This will take a while babe," Lil said as I grabbed a trolley. 

"Lilliahna, I'm gunna push the trolley, you get whatever you think we need."

~*~ Lilliahna ~*~

Wow, Zac really gave me a lot of room to play here. But I only got what we needed, toiletries, laundry detergent, food plus everything else. The trolley was practically over flowing when we left the store an hour and a half later. We loaded up the car and I rang Mum on the way home. 

I let her know what was happening and she said that I could stay the night, since there was a lot of work to be done. She also said she would come around in the morning with Issy and help. I thanked her very much. 

When we got back, Zac unloaded the car while I found the laundry. He certainly wasn't joking about the clothes. Thank goodness he had a dryer. I sorted out the clothes and put on a load before finding Zac, who had just finished unpacking the last bag. I looked at the time. 

"Hungry honey?" I asked as I turned on the oven and pulled the lasagne out of the fridge. 

"Yes, but not for food," he told me, coming over to me. 

"Go and put these in the normal bathroom, and these in the en suite," I said as I handed him the many bottles of stuff I had put in the trolley. He sighed and went to do what I had asked him. Once the lasagne was in the oven and the salad had been made I went to find Zac, who hadn't come back. 

I found him sitting on the floor of his parents' room. "Babe?" I asked as I paused at the door. 

"Hey, let's change these sheets so we have somewhere to sleep tonight," he told me, putting the photo back on the dresser. I didn't argue. Once the bed was made, I went to check on the clothes and tea.

"I think we will go through this stuff tonight before we go to bed, I want to get my stuff in our room baby," Zac said as he came into the kitchen. 

"Yeah bub, come on, tea's ready," I said handing him his plate and taking my own into the dining room. 

"Lilliahna, I'm so sorry you have to go through all this," he said as he sat down. 

"It isn't fair on you, but I really appreciate it." 

"Don't be silly it's fine," I told him. The rest of the meal was eaten in silence and I did the dishes while Zac went to sort out the room. He had boxed up all the clothes by the time I went in there. 

"That's all I'm doing for now, I'll sort the rest out later ok?" he asked, taking me in his arms. 

"Yeah, um, Zac, I have a problem," I said, pretending to be serious. 

"What?" he asked me, noticing the smile. I moved my head so my lips were almost touching his ear. 

"I didn't bring pyjamas," I whispered. 

"That's a problem?" he commented as he kissed me. He pulled me close to him, so are bodies were pressed hard against each other. 

"Baby, I want you closer, I want to be inside of you, I want to show you how much I love you," he whispered, gazing into my eyes and running his fingers through my hair. 

"I want it too Zac," I replied, lifting the hem of his shirt and pulling it over his head for the second time that night. As I dropped his shirt on the floor, I began to kiss him again, slipping my tongue into his mouth. A soft moan escaped his lips and he pushed his mouth against mine harder. I slid my hands down his chest until I found his nipples, before kissing a trail to them. I ran my tongue around one and began to suck on it gently. 

"Lil, don't tease me, please...." Zac groaned. I started to kiss a trail down to the button on his jeans. I paused while I undid the button and then placed my hand over the bulge that had formed in his pants. I felt myself grow moist between my legs, and knew that there was no turning back now. 

I slowly unzipped his fly and teasingly pulled down his jeans until they were crumpled on the floor around his feet. He stepped out of them and kicked them to the side. I gazed up at him, looking into his eyes as my fingers slipped into his boxers. 

"Lilliahna, I love you so much," he said as he cupped my face in his hands and kissed me again. I slid down his body until I was kneeling on the floor. As I looked into his eyes, I pulled his boxers down, allowing his erection to stand freely. He was perfect. I reached out for him and heard him gasp as my fingers enclosed around his shaft. 

"Kiss it baby," he whispered. I touched the head to my tongue, felt its hardness, smelt his musky scent and suddenly wanted more. I pushed him into my mouth, until my lips touched my fingers enclosed around the base. 

Zac moaned softly and I knew he liked it. I slowly slid him out of my mouth until only his head was still in there and swirled my tongue around him. I gazed up and met his eyes; he smiled and tangled his fingers into my long brown hair. I kept eye contact as I slid him in and out of my mouth until he closed his eyes and let his head fall back, momentarily overtaken with the pleasure I was causing. 

"Baby, you had better stop that before I come," he whispered, gently pulling me to my feet and kissing me hard on the lips.

~*~ Zac ~*~

She was so close to getting me off and I didn't want to come just yet. I wanted to wait, I wanted to tease her, pleasure her, make her feel the way she had made me feel just moments before. I didn't care about me anymore; all I wanted was to please her. 

"Lilliahna," her name rolled off my tongue easily as I unzipped her jacket and slid it off her arms. She gazed at me so intently that I suddenly wanted to rip off all her clothes, felt that I couldn't wait a moment longer, but I held myself back. I wanted to take it slowly for her sake, not mine. I wanted her first time to be special. I fingered the hem of her shirt before slowly pulling it over her head, kissing each bit of newly exposed skin. 

As the shirt fell to the floor I reached for the zip on her school skirt, undid it and pulled it to the floor, running my hands along her smooth skin. I took a step back and gazed at her. She had on a black lacy bra and a small black G, and looked so incredibly sexy that I felt myself grow bigger at the thought of what was contained under the material. 

"Zac baby," she murmured as she reached out for my hands. "I want you, stop teasing me. Please, it isn't fair," she whispered as she placed one of my hands on her boob. 

They were so soft, so perfect. I reached behind her back with my other hand and undid the clasp of her bra, she let them fall to the ground and I bent my head and kissed them, swirling my tongue around her nipple and sucking it gently. 

"Oh, baby, that feels so good," she moaned as she pulled my head to her closer. I sucked harder and she shivered. 

"Are you cold?" I asked her. She shook her head and put her arms around me. I kissed her while I scooped her up in my arms and gently sat her on the edge on my bed. I ran my fingers down her sides until I reached her hips. Looking into her eyes, waiting for a sign that she wanted to go on, I hooked my thumbs in her G. 

She nodded and so I swiftly pulled them down. She was cleanly shaven, and looked so good. I could see the moisture between her legs and smell her sweet musky smell. I bet my head and laid a kiss on her, breathing in her smell, never wanting to stop. 

I kissed my way down her and used my fingers to spread her apart, I ran my tongue along the length of her pussy and heard her cry out softly. I found her clit, swollen and hard, and swirled my tongue around it. I slipped a finger into her as far as I could. 

I wanted more of her, it was as if something had started deep within me and I couldn't get enough. I buried my face in her, pushing my tongue into her as far as I could, tasting her, I could feel her grow moister as I found her clit, this time with my finger. I made small circles over it while I pushed my tongue in and out of her. Lilliahna had fallen backwards on the bed and raised her hips, trying to get more of me, I felt her muscles tighten around my tongue. 

"Baby, oh Baby," she cried out as she came. 

When her breathing returned to normal, she reached for me. I stood up and moved her onto the bed more, where she would be more comfortable. 

"Zac, that was amazing, you made me feel so good," she said, in between her kisses. 

"I want to show you how much I love you Lilliahna, if you still want to," I said. She ran her fingers down my stomach and took hold of me. "I do baby, I want to so badly. Make love to me Zac," she cried out as I began to kiss her boob again. 

She was getting impatient, so I slid my hand down her tummy and took hold of myself. 

"This may hurt baby," I told her. She nodded. 

"I know, just go slowly ok?" she asked. 

I rubbed my cock against the opening of her pussy, feeling the moisture, feeling the warmth. Finally, I found the right place and guided myself there, pausing on the edge, waiting for her to be ready. She nodded and I pushed against her, feeling her stretch to allow me in. I stopped once I was just inside her, and started to slide out again. 

"What are you doing?" she asked, her voice trembling. 

"Getting you used to it baby, taking it slowly," I bent down and kissed her as I again pushed myself into her, deeper this time. I was about a half way in when I felt some resistance. 

"This is the part that will probably hurt," I said gently. I slid myself almost out again before pushing back into her harder this time. It paused slightly at the spot of resistance, her hymen I knew, so I gave a bit more pressure and it slid past. 

"Ow," she cried out softly, tears in her eyes. 

"Baby," I said, quickly pulling out and pulling her to me. 

"No, don't stop, please," she begged. 

"I don't want to hurt you Lil, I never want to hurt you," I told her, kissing her forehead. 

"I want you to make love to me, I want you to do it now, please," she asked, pushing her body against mine and kissing me. I felt the moisture between her legs, felt the urgency in her kisses, and I knew she was ready. This time she guided me to the place, and as I collided with her softness, she pushed up off the bed, sliding me into her. Still, I wanted more. 

"Deeper baby, please, go as far as you can," she said. I slid out and thrust forward with all I had, stopping when I physically could not go any further. I continued to thrust in and out until she cried out. 

"Baby, I love you," she said, her breathing shallow and fast. I knew how she felt, my breathing matched hers and I felt myself on the verge of coming. I stopped thrusting and stayed still, trying to gain some strength to stop myself from coming. I wanted this to last, for both of us.

~*~ Lilliahna ~*~

"What are you doing?" I asked, I was so close and then Zac just stopped. 

"I want this to last Lilli, I was so close to coming, I want to wait a bit longer," he told me. I kissed him. 

"Roll over," I said, wanting to control what was happening for a while. 

"Are you sure? I'm happy doing all the work baby," he said. 

"Please Zac," I said pushing against him. He did and as we rolled over, he fell out of me. I knelt over him, one knee either side of his hips. 

"Hold him up baby," I said. He did and I slowly sat down on him, pushing myself down as far as I could possibly go. I got faster and faster, moaning as this new position hit all the right places. I felt myself grow close. 

"Come with me baby," I sighed. 

"I can't Lil, I'm not ready yet," he said. "Nearly but not yet, go baby, let yourself go, you can come again after, you'll enjoy it." 

He looked up at me as I cried out, I let my head fall back and my eyes close. I could feel my muscles tighten around him as a wave of pleasure rocked my body. I lost the motion while I orgasmed, so Zac pulled me towards him and rolled over, still in me this time. 

I was still on the outsides of my orgasm when Zac started thrusting into me, this time with an urgency. It felt so good that I was almost going to come again. 

"Baby, I am so close, wait for me," I murmured into his lips and his body began to tighten. 

"I don't know if I can," he replied. 

"Try for me baby, try for me please," I begged him as I reached between us and started rubbing my clit. He wanted to help me so he started to massage my boob, I felt myself grow closer. 

"Baby, nearly, harder, faster, bring me over the edge," I cried out. He abandoned rubbing my boob as her went as hard as he could, shaking the whole bed but we didn't even notice. 

"I can't keep this up babe, I'm gunna come," he moaned. "No Zac, a few more minutes, please, please don't stop just yet." 

"I'm trying so hard Lil, I'm holding myself back, but I don't think I can last much longer," he said as he pushed himself into me hard. 

That was it, I was about to come, I could feel it building up. 

"Not long now baby, please, a few more...come with me baby, come with me now," I cried as I felt myself explode. 

Moisture ran down my legs, Zac thrust once more and I felt his body tense. Warmth flooded inside of me, filling me up. My whole body tingled and Zac collapsed on me, panting, trying to catch his breath. I slid my arms around him and pulled him to me. 

"I love you, Zac, I really, really do." I kissed him hard and he kissed me back. 

"Let's clean up," he said as he picked me up and carried me to the bathroom. We just made it onto the tiles when our come ran out of me and went everywhere. I just stood there in the puddle, looking at him. 

"Never mind baby, at least it will be easy to clean up," he said as he turned on the shower. 

"Baby, I just realised something," I said walking over to join him in the shower. "You weren't wearing a condom." 

"Oh shit, I wasn't, I totally forgot. Shit babe, shit." He pulled me to him and hugged me tight. 

"It's alright, well figure it out. We'll be ok. I promise, no matter what happens ok?" I nodded and started kissing him, the warm water running over our bodies, I felt him again begin to swell and become hard against my leg. 

"I'll be back," he said leaving me there. When he returned a condom was over him. 




Lilliahna & Zac Ch. 05



"I love you," he said, picking me up and pushing me against the wall of the shower. 

"I love you," I told him, pushing him back just enough to let him slide into me.

~*~ Zac ~*~

It took me longer this time, but it was still amazing. 

Lilliahna was exhausted afterwards, she had come another two or three times and so I dried her off and carried her to our bed. Tucking her in, I kissed her good night and then wandered out to the kitchen. 

She had done so much already, half the washing was done, the kitchen was clean, and we only had the rooms where my family would stay to go. I wandered into my room and began to empty out the drawers and cupboards. Everything I would need in the next few days. I left it on the bed and went back to my new room. 

Lil was snuggled up, fast asleep. She was so beautiful. I climbed into bed with her and gently placed an arm under her; she stirred but didn't wake. I pulled her to me, holding her against my chest, keeping her safe. Slowly, I drifted off to sleep. 

The next morning when I woke up I found my arms still around Lilliahna and squeezed her gently. I loved waking up with her, even though this was my first time. I looked at the clock, 8:30. Lil's Mum was going to get here around 9. 

I sighed as I kissed Lil on the cheek. 

"Baby, it's time to wake up. Your mum will be here soon. Lil?" I whispered in her ear. 

"Mmm," she murmured, not opening her eyes. 

"Lilliahna, it's time to get up," I said, a bit louder this time. 

"I'm up," she said opening her eyes. 

"Good morning handsome," she added, with a kiss. 

"We have to get up, your Mum will be here soon and although she said we could be together, I don't know what she would say about finding us in bed together." Lil threw back the blankets and jumped out of bed. 

"I didn't bring my make-up," she gasped, picking up her mobile. 

"Your relatives are going to be meeting me today, I have to look my best." She dialled her Mum's number as I headed into the bathroom for a shower. 

"Hey Mum, it's me." I heard as I closed the door and turned the water on. 

It wasn't long before Lil joined me and as I shampooed her hair she told me that her mum was going to be 15 minutes. 

"Issy is coming too, so Mum has to bring her pram, portable cot and toys. You'll love her though, she's just started crawling." I just smiled. I liked little kids and couldn't wait to have my own. 

We got out the shower and I pulled on my clothes just as the doorbell rang. 

"I'll get it Lil, you get dressed," I told her as I left the bathroom.

~*~ Lilliahna ~*~

I walked out into the lounge room to find Zac sitting on the floor playing with Issy as Mum set up the portable cot. 

"Did you want to put that in Zac's room Mum? That way she won't be disturbed when she has her nap," I suggested. Mum thought that was a good idea so Zac moved it for her and of course, Issy followed her new friend. 

"Um, Lil?" he called out a few minutes later. Mum laughed and I went to see what was going on. I found Zac standing at the door of his room, with Issy clinging to his legs. 

"What do I do?" he asked. 

"If I move she might fall over." I laughed at him. 

"Pick her up, that's what she wants," I told him. 

"How?" I shook my head, but I was smiling. I bent down and picked her up under her arms. 

"Just like you'd pick up an older kid, she's just a smaller version," I told him as I gave Issy to him. She just smiled and clapped her hands. 

"I'll get the hang of it," Zac told me as he tickled Isabella's tummy. She erupted in screams of laughter and I knew they would be fine. I went to find Mum, who had gone around the house opening windows and curtains. 

"Zac, do you have a vacuum cleaner?" Mum asked him. 

"Somewhere," he replied. Mum laughed at him again and went to find it as I began to strip the beds in the guest bedrooms. 

"We'll wash all the sheets so they are fresh. But I think we may have more people coming than beds," I commented. Zac wasn't listening. He was too busy tickling Issy and making faces at her. 

"Zac?" I asked. 

"Yeah? Oh, right. Nah they were bringing swags for the kids. So the only people needing beds are Grandma and Grandpa Davidson, Nanna Watson, Uncle Tony and Aunty Fay, and Uncle Fred and Aunty Kate. Jess, Matt, Leah and Kim are gunna sleep on the floor in swags," he replied, pulling another face at Issy, causing her to dissolve once again in fits of laughter. 

"What's going on in here?" Mum asked, as she came into the room with the vacuum cleaner. 

"I don't think Zac will be helping with the cleaning somehow. He's to occupied with Issy," I said, smiling at how cute they were together. 

"That's ok, he'd just slow us down anyway," said Mum teasingly. Zac just shrugged and took Isabella into the lounge room to keep her out of the way.

As Mum vacuumed the floor I stripped the beds and washed the sheets. We were just making the final bed a few hours later when Mum's mobile rang. It was Dad. 

"Oh, are you ok?" she asked, sounding concerned. 

"Ok, I'll be home in a minute. Should I ask Lil to have Issy?" I frowned, what could be going on? 

"Yeah ok. I'll see you soon," she said as she hung up. 

"Lilliahna, don't worry, but your Grandma Thomas has had a minor heart attack. She's ok, but your father and I are going to spend a few days with her and then bring her back to stay with us for a little while. I hate to ask you this, you are already going to have so many people here, but could you possibly have Isabella? I wouldn't ask if I thought we could take her, but I don't think it's a good idea." I looked at Zac, it would be up to him. 

"Mrs Thomas, it would be great to look after her. Go and worry about Mr Thomas' Mum, Issy will be safe here with us." 

"Thank-you so much Zac, and please call us Ann and Jacob," she said turning to me. 

"Could you come back and get her stuff now? That way we can be organised." Mum was stressing. She had never left Issy alone for a few days before, it was going to be hard on her. 

"Mum, I'll follow you in Zac's Dads car and he can stay here with Issy." 

"Ok, I'll see you home in a few minutes," Mum said giving Issy a big hug and a kiss. 

"Thank-you again Zac," she said as she walked out the door. 

"Will you be ok here for half an hour?" I asked him. 

"I think so," he said. 

"Her nappy bags there and she has a drink," I told him. 

"Nappy bag? You don't think I'll need to..." he stopped there. I felt Issy's nappy, it was only a bit damp. 

"No, I'll change her when I get back. I promise I'll be back before everyone gets here," I told his, kissing him. 

"Bye sis," I said tickling her tummy. She giggled and I headed out the door.

When I got home I found Mum in Issys room. 

"Let me choose her clothes Mum, you know I will be fine, don't you?" I asked her. She nodded and handed me Issy's half-packed bag. 

"Yes Lil, I just have a lot on my mind," she said as she wandered back to her own room to pack for herself. I put in Issy's cutest little outfits, plus heaps more nappies and everything else that I may need. I also grabbed more toys and her mobile that she wouldn't sleep without at night. 

"Mum," I called out. 

"Can you help me put her car seat into Zac's car?" I asked. She did it for me, I had no idea how, and then she and Dad had to go. It was a 2-hour drive to the hospital that Grandma was in. 

"Thank-you Lil. Have fun. Look after Zac, he's gunna need your help over the next few days. I'll call you when we know when we are coming home. Call me if you have any problems with Issy. I love you. Bye," Mum said as they drove away, after I reassured her that we would be ok of course. 

I quickly got changed into fresh clothes, did my make-up and packed my bags. I was planning to stay longer than a few days, so I packed more than was probably necessary. 

~*~ Zac ~*~

I heard Lilliahna pull up and Isabella and I went outside to greet her. 

"Wow, it's like coming home to my little family," Lil said as she took Issy and kissed me. 

"Lil, I'll get the bags if you like," I offered. 

"I'll help too," she replied as she put Issy down on the grass. She just sat there looking cute. 

"She can't crawl far yet so she will be ok," Lil added as she grabbed Issy's bag and toy box before taking them inside. I waited for Lil to come outside to get Issy before I took her bag inside. 

We had time to put the bags in our room, move the last of my things into our room and put Issy down for her sleep before we heard the doorbell. 

"You ready baby?" I asked Lil, as I gave her a quick kiss. 

"As I'll ever be," she replied. 



Lilliahna & Zac Ch. 06



~*~ Zac ~*~

I answered the door and everyone walked in. I was expecting a couple to arrive at a time, not all of them at once. 

"Everyone, this is Lilliahna, my girlfriend. Lilliahna, this is everyone," I said, by way of introducing them all. 

"Zac, you haven't changed a bit. Come here muffin," said my Nanna as she gave me a hug. 

"Thanks Nanna Watson," I said. 

"Hi, Mrs Watson, I'm Lil," Lil said to her. 

"Lil, call me Nanna too ok," she replied pulling her into a hug. 

The rest of the family were equally friendly to Lil, and equally sympathetic to me, unfortunately. We showed them their rooms. Matt then spotted the X-box and asked if he could play it. 

"No Matt, go and take you sister and your cousins for a walk so we can chat," said Fay, handing him $20. 

"That's for the ice-creams, I expect the change." 

At 15, Matt was the oldest cousin, Jess and Leah were 13 and Kim was 10. I was always to odd one out. 

"Ok Mum, sounds good." 

"Does anyone want a drink, or a chocolate muffin?" Lil asked everyone. After distributing the various refreshments and muffins we sat down in the lounge room to talk. 

"So Zac, what's with the box of baby toys?" asked his Grandma Davidson. 

"Is there something you're not telling us?" 

"No Grandma, they are Lil's little sisters. Her parents have had to go out of town for family problems and we are looking after Isabella for a few days. Speak of the devil," I added as Issy started crying. 

"Excuse me," Lil said, as she got up to get her. 

"How long have you been together for Zac?" asked Uncle Tony. 

"Um, a week or two?" I replied. The shocked looks echoed how I felt when I realised how short a time it was. 

"But we have been good friends for a long time," Lil added as she came back into the room, smiling at me. 

"Issy, wave hello to everyone," I told her, as I reached for her from Lil. As I sat her on my lap I picked up her little hand and made waving motions. 

"Aww, isn't she cute," cried my relatives. 

"The girls will just love playing with her," Kate added. 

"Playing with who Mum?" asked Leah as the cousins came back inside. 

"Aww...Can I hold her please Zac?" asked Jess spotting Issy. I looked at Lil and she nodded. 

"Go entertain her, I think all us adults are boring her," I said to Leah, handing her over. The girls all went with Issy, fighting over who got to play with her first. 

"I bet she's going to love all that attention," Lil said. 

"What about me? I don't want to play with a stupid baby," said Matt, obviously not happy that he had lost his playmates. 

"How about we set the Xbox up in the rumpus room?" I asked, getting up. "I'm sure I'd have a couple of games you might like."

~*~ Lilliahna ~*~

"So Lil, are you living here permanently?" asked Zac's Uncle Fred. 

"No, just the next few days while my parents are out of town. I thought Zac might like some extra support with everything that has happened," I replied. 

"How is he coping?" asked Fay. 

"Ok, I guess. I don't think it has fully hit him yet. I think tomorrow will be hard for him, he hasn't been looking forward to it at all." 

"Yeah, the poor little mite. I mean, the last time we saw him was when his mother lost her battle. Now we are here to bury his father. He's a strong one though, I'll give him that," added Tony. 

"Nah, you just see me when I'm pretending to be strong, if it wasn't for Lil, I wouldn't have even been able to tell you all that the funeral was on, or have food here for you, or even have clean sheets on the beds. She's my strength," Zac said, as he came back into the room. I blushed slightly. 

"Not to be rude or anything, but I think we are going to have a lie down, all this travel has worn us out," said his grandparents, standing and heading to their rooms. I looked at the time, it was four thirty. 

"I think I'll get a start on tea," I said standing and heading to the kitchen. 

Fay and Kate came with me, leaving the guys to chat. 

"We'll give you a hand, what are we going to have?" they asked me. 

"I thought I'd just make some salads and have Spaghetti Bolognaise. That's quick and easy to make," I replied, getting the mince and bolognaise sauce out of the fridge. 

"We can do the salads if you like," Kate said. 

"That would be great," I replied. I heard Issy start crying and Jess came into the kitchen. 

"I don't know what's wrong, she just started for no reason," she said handing her to me.

"It's ok Jess, she's probably just hungry. Is that it Isabella? Yeah?" I said, putting her in the high chair that Mum had dropped off. 

"Did you want to feed her some custard Jess?" I asked her, getting it out of the fridge and handing it to Jess. 

"I don't know how," she said. 

"Just put some on the spoon and feed it to her, she's good at eating so you should have no problems," I told her, putting on Issys bib. 

"Could you show me?" Jess asked still unsure. 

"Of course," I said taking the spoon. I showed Jess a couple of times and then handed her the spoon. 

"Let me know if you have any problems," I told her, as I went to see what I could do for tea, since Kate and Fay had taken over all the jobs. 

"How old is she Lil?" Kate asked. 

"8 months, she's just started crawling," I said, watching Jess feed her the custard. 

"You are really good with her, thank-you for letting Jess feed her, she loves little kids, especially babies, but she never gets to see any or help with any," Fay added. 

"I know, I was like that when I was younger. That's why I don't mind the girls helping out, as long as it doesn't cause arguments or bother you guys at all that is." 

"No, I think it's great that you are letting them help. They are pretty upset about their uncle, but this is taking their minds off it, which is a good thing. Matt hasn't reacted well, he loved Zac's father. He's become really moody and argumentative in the last few days and he refuses to cry. He thinks that because he's a guy he shouldn't cry. I don't know what to do with him?" commented Fay. 

"This must be hard on everyone. I didn't meet either of his parents, not properly anyway. I feel kind of weird being here with all you guys too. Like I shouldn't be or something," I said honestly. 

"Lilli, can I call you that?" I nodded so Kate continued. 

"We think it's great that you're here. Zac needs someone to help him through this difficult time and you can tell he really cares about you and appreciates all you have done for him. You're part of the family now, whether you like it or not." I smiled. 

"Thank-you so much, it means a lot," I told them. 

"Lil, I think Issy has finished," Jess said, interrupting our conversation. I went over. Issy had gotten it everywhere, like she normally does. I went over to her nappy bag and got a wipe for her face and hands. 

"Sorry about the mess," Jess said. 

"If she ever ate her custard and didn't make a mess I would be very surprised. It's normal of little ones to do that when they are learning how to eat. You did a very good job, Jess. You guys will have to help me bath her later on though," I told her as I took Isabella out of the high chair and gave her back to Jess. 

"Do you think you could play with her for a bit longer? We are almost finished here." 

"Yes Lil that will be fine." I turned back to help with the adults. Matt came into the kitchen not long afterwards. 

"Mum, the girls kicked me of the Xbox and put some girly game on. Can I use the phone and call Dani?" he asked. 

"You'll have to ask Zac, it's his phone," Fay told him. 

Zac came in and said, "Ask Zac what?" as he ruffled Matt's hair affectionately. 

"Can I use you phone?" he repeated. 

"What for?" Zac asked, grabbing a can of Coke from the fridge and handing to Matt. 

"To call Dani," he said, going slightly pink. 

"Your girlfriend?" I asked. 

"He wishes, Zac can I have some Coke too?" asked Leah coming in the kitchen with the other girls following behind her. Zac got Coke out for everyone and told them to go outside and play for a bit. He then pulled Matt aside. 

"Hey buddy, take the cordless phone and go into Lil and my room so you won't be disturbed. Talk until tea time ok mate, don't worry about the cost," Zac added at the look on Matts face. Tea would still be an hour and a bit away. 

"Have fun," his Mum called out Matt left the room. 

"You didn't have to do that Zac, but thank-you. He's always in a better mood when he gets off the phone to her," he father commented. 

"I know what it's like having feelings for someone and not knowing if they are returned," Zac said, coming over to me for a hug. 

~*~ Zac ~*~

The guys decided to head down to the pub for an hour to get out of everyone's hair. Fay and Kate headed outside to enjoy the last of the afternoon warmth with the grandparents and Matt was still on the phone to Dani. 

It was 5:30 so Lil decided that Isabella could have her tea, and told the girls that they could watch a movie, as they were looking tired. She put on 'Sleepover' and came into the kitchen to get Issy's tea. 

"Here babe, put her in her highchair, we might need a clean bib for her though," she said, as she tipped out Issy's jar of baby food into a bowl to heat it up. 

"Nah, just use this one, then it saves getting two dirty," I said, wanting to keep Lil to myself for a while, I hadn't had much of a chance to see her all day. 

"How are you feeling?" I asked her, concerned about whether she felt comfortable with all my family members. 

"Fine, a bit tired, but that's normal after not much sleep and a busy day," she replied, handing me Issy's tea and a spoon. 

"Feed her bub." I did as I was told and started to feed Issy. I wasn't really concentrating on Issy though, Lil looked so buggered. 

"Are you sure you're ok?" I said, not watching Issy. Next thing I knew the bowl, which I left on the tray of her high chair, was tipped on her head and Isabella was giggling. 

"Isabella. Why did you do that?" asked Lilliahna, a smile creeping across her face. I took the bowl off her head and started to clean up the mess. 

"Kids hey," I said laughing. 

"What's all the giggles about?" asked Kim, coming into the kitchen. She looked at Isabella in shock when she saw the mess. 

"She's naughty," Kim told us. 

"She's not naughty Kim, she just doesn't know any better, she is still learning what is considered naughty and what isn't," Lil told her as she got Issy some more food. 

"I do know that she is definitely going to need a bath after this though, this is why we don't give her a bath before tea, isn't it Isabella?" Lil said to her, as she sat on my lap. The rest of her tea went down without anymore being tipped over her head. 

"Ok messy girl, bath time," I told her while Lilli rinsed out her bowl. 

"Can I help?" asked Kim. 

"Sure hun, come with me and we can run the bath while Lil gets her pyjamas and stuff," I said, taking Issy into the bathroom. 

"Can we help too?" asked Jess and Leah as they came running up to the bathroom. 

"Sure. I need at least three people to play with her while she's in there," Lil said, gently lying Issy on the floor and pulling off her clothes. 

"Zac, could you get me a clean towel for her?" She asked, sitting Issy in the bath in her special seat. 

"What's that for Lilli?" asked Jess.

"Since Issy hasn't been sitting up for very long and the bath can be slippery, it's to stop her from slipping over and hurting herself. I'll be back in a minute, make sure you guys splash around lots and have fun," Lil said as we left the room. 

"You still haven't answered me baby, are you ok? You sure you're only tired?" I asked her, as I reached for a clean towel from the cupboard. 

"Yes, but I am also worried about what happened last night. I'm going to be nervous until I know either way," Lil told me, reaching out to get a hug. 

"Sweetheart, it will be ok, I'm going to look after you either way ok. I love you," I reassured her, kissing her forehead gently. 

"Lil, Issy has put water everywhere, eww...were you two kissing, that's gross," Kim said coming out. 

"Don't your parents kiss Kimmy?" I teased. 

"Yeah, but they are old, they are allowed too." 

"Is that so?" I said grabbing her, picking her up and kissing her lots on her cheeks. 

"Zac, stop it," she screamed, kicking her legs, but she was laughing too. I let her go and got an extra towel, to mop up the mess. Lil was shampooing Issy's hair when I went into the bathroom and the girls, who had obviously gotten bored, headed back into the lounge to finish their movie. 

Lil handed me Issy once she had finished washing her so I could dry her and then we headed into our room. Matt was leaving as we were about to walk in there. 

"Did she have to go?" Lil asked her. Matt shook his head, his eyes watering a little. 

"Do you want to come in here and talk Matt," Lil asked quietly, placing an arm around him and gently pushing back in the room. She shut the door behind her. 

"Matt, matey what's the matter? She got a new boyfriend?" I started to tease, but the look Lil shot me shut me up instantly and I put the moisturiser on Issy that she handed me. 

"No, she told me she loved me," he said, a tear rolling down his cheek. 

~*~ Lilliahna ~*~

"Doesn't that make you happy?" I asked gently. 

"Yes, that's why I'm crying. I never thought that someone could care about me as much as she does. I wish she could have come over with us, to make me feel better, but my parents said that she wasn't allowed because it was a family thing. I miss her so much, she makes the hurt go away a little." 

"You know Matt, you are allowed to cry when you miss someone. I know that because you're a guy, it makes you think that you can't, or that if you do your weak, but that isn't true. It's normal to cry, it's ok to cry," Zac said, taking over the conversation as I began to dress Issy. 

"I know, and I do cry, just when no one is around, or if it is only Dani is around. She just makes it feel better," he said, as more tears began to fall down his face. 

"I know what you mean buddy, Lilli is my Dani, if it wasn't for her I would be a mess. I don't have a Dad, I don't have a Mum and I don't know how to use a washing machine. If it wasn't for Lil I would have to wear dirty clothes," this got a smile from Matt. 

"But Lil is also the reason I can still smile Matt, because although all this bad stuff has happened, she shows me that good stuff is still here, that someone does still love me and that someone wants me to be happy. I cry a lot, but I'm still a guy, I'm still strong, it doesn't change who I am or who loves me. I know Dani isn't here, and hugging your mum is dorky hey. But Lil will let you hug her, and between you and me, her hugs are pretty awesome. Just remember that it isn't just Dani that cares about you and loves you Mattie, all of us do," Zac told him, giving him a guys hug. 

Matt nodded, he looked very upset. I had finished dressing Issy and handed her to Zac. 

"Matt," I said, kneeling down on the floor in front of him. 

"Can I give you a hug?" he fell against me so I protectively put my arms around him and held him to me. All the tears he had been bottling up came flooding out, his whole body shaking as he cried. I didn't hear Zac leave the room, but when Matt calmed down he was gone. 

"Are you ok?" I asked him, handing him a tissue. 

"Sorry for getting tears and snot on your shirt Lilli," he said. 

"Don't worry about it. And anytime you want a hug, you know where to find me ok?" I told him. 

"Come out when you're ready, there's no hurry," I reassured him as I left the room. 

Everyone was at the tea table, except Issy who was quietly playing with her toys. I sat down next to Zac and got some spaghetti. 

"Is he ok?" Fay asked me. 

"Yeah, he just needed a hug from someone, and a talk from his big cousin. He's just getting ready to come out and eat," I said, with a look that said he was still upset but was feeling better. 

"Lilli?" Kim asked me. "Are you and Zac gunna get married?" 

"Um, I'm not sure Kim, maybe," I told her, shocked that she would ask. "Why is that?" 

"Because I want you as my big cousin too. I like you, you're really nice," she said, and continued eating, showing that the conversation was over as I blinked back a tear. 

After tea, Fay and Kate put the kids to bed while Fred and Tony did the dishes and cleaned up. Matt didn't want anything to eat, but went to sleep quite quickly. Zac sat down and talked with his grandparents while I feed Issy her bottle and listened. 

"Lil, thank-you for looking after my little Zaccykins," his Nanna Watson told me. Zaccykins? 

"No problem," I said, storing Zaccykins away for future teasing.

"You are going to be such a good mother one day," Grandma Davidson commented as I burped Issy and cuddled her. 

"I hope so. I'll be back in a minute, I am just going to put her to bed," I said standing up. I had just put Issy in her cot and pulled the blankets over her when Zac came in. 

"What is it babe?" I asked at the look on his face. 

"I don't want tomorrow to come," he said. 

"What brought this on so suddenly?" 

"Grandpa Davidson said how he wasn't going to sleep well tonight as he would be thinking too much on how tomorrow he would be burying his son, I hadn't really thought of it that way." A tear ran down his cheek and I held him to me. He sobbed his little heart out and Issy looked at him, worried. She too began to cry. 

"Shhh, baby, my too little babies, it will be ok," I said. Issy just cried louder so I got her out of her cot and handed her to Zac. He cuddled her tight. 

"Why don't you hop into bed and cuddle her for a bit. I'm just going to go and say goodnight to everyone," I said, kissing Zac on the cheek.

"Is he ok?" Grandma Davidson asked me. 

"Yeah, he just hadn't thought about tomorrow much, and I don't think he's ready for it. He'll be ok, I mean it will be tough but he'll get through it," I said, with more confidence then I felt. 

"It will be hard for you too, burying a son," I said. 

"Yeah, no parent should have to bury a child, but at the same time no child should have to bury a parent at such a young age." 

"I agree. Anyways, I just came to say goodnight, I'll see you in the morning. Sleep well," I said. 

"Come here," said Nanna Watson, beckoning me over to her. She gave me a hug. 

"I'm glad that Zaccykins has found someone like you to look after him. I'm always going to think of you as part of the family. Goodnight sweetie," she said letting me go. The others agreed and I went back to the bedroom. 

Zac and Isabella were both asleep so I gently lifted Issy from his arms and put her in the cot. Zac woke up as I took her, but didn't say anything. I climbed into bed and pulled him to me, wrapping my arms around him protectively. 

"Tomorrow is going to be hard baby," I whispered to him. "Try and get some sleep ok, you're going to need it. I love you," I added as I kissed him on his forehead. 

"I love you too Lilli," he replied, closing his eyes. I waited until his breathing had slowed down and deepened before I allowed myself to drift off to sleep.

~*~ Zac ~*~

I woke up to crying, and instantly thought something was wrong with Lil. But she was still asleep. I sat up, remembering Issy and got out of bed. 

"Baby, shhh," I whispered as I picked her up and gently rocked her. 

"Let's be quiet now, and I'll get you a bottle," I told her quietly as Lilli started to stir. I took Isabella out into the kitchen and talked to her about nonsense until the bottle had heated up. 

Crawling back into bed with her I fed her the bottle, she fell asleep half way through it and instead of tucking her back into bed I kept cuddling her until I too fell asleep. 




Lilliahna & Zac Ch. 06



Lil woke me the next morning when she took Issy from me, who was babbling away to herself. 

"Baby girl, what are you doing here? Did you wake up in the middle of the night?" She asked Issy, with a smile in her voice. I hadn't opened my eyes, I wanted to think a bit first. I heard Lil leave the room and opened my eyes. 

Fifteen minutes later Lil came back in. 

"Baby, you're awake. How are you?" she asked, crawling over to me. 

"Yeah, I'll be better after a cuddle. Where's Issy?" 

"Leah is feeding her breakfast, Kate's out there keeping an eye on them," I added at the look on Zac's face. 

"It's funny how easily worry comes isn't it," I commented, snuggling against Zac further. 

"Mmm..." I replied, my mind not on worry, more on the smell of Lil's shampoo. 

"It's time to get up though sweet pea, the funeral is at 3 and its 10 o'clock already. Go and have a shower," she prompted me. 

"Will you join me?" I asked her, a cheeky thought crossing my mind. 

"In a minute," she said leaving the room. 

I was almost finished my shower when she came back in, she quickly pulled off her clothes and hopped in with me. 

"Baby, you smell good," she murmured as she pulled my head towards hers so she could kiss me. 

"What about Isabella?" I asked breaking the kiss. 

"Kate and Fay are watching her for me, I said you were upset and needed some comforting before you were ready to come out and that Issy wouldn't really help," she told me. 

"Comforting, I don't know about that but I'm pretty sure I need some special attention, since even Matt's getting super awesome hugs before me nowadays," I teased her. She pressed her body against mine and I felt myself react. 

"Baby, I love you so much. Today is going to be so hard, let me take your mind off it for a little while," she said, running her fingers down my naked body. 

"I'm pretty sure you can do that for me, my little princess. But may I ask how?" She winked at me and knelt down on the floor. Her hand gently took hold of me, and as her lips closed around me I closed my eyes and had to reach out to steady myself against the wall as my knees were beginning to shake. 

"Baby, stop, please," I moaned, not wanting her to, but not wanting to do anything I might regret, like something my relatives might be able to hear. 

"Lilliahna, please," I moaned again, as I felt my body begin to shiver. I pulled on the hand she had resting on my stomach. 

"Zac, let me do this, I want to..." but I interrupted her. 

"No, I want to make you come too baby." 

"We can do that later, you're relatives are going in the morning, then we can have some fun. Until then, let me do this for you, please," she said, slipping me back into her mouth but still looking at me. 

Watching her do this to me turned me on so much more, if that was even possible. I had to break eye contact with her and close my eyes to take me to a lower level of pleasure or it was going to be all over right there and then. I tried to think of something else, but Lilliahna was making it very difficult. I looked down at her again, I felt my muscles tighten. 

"Baby," I moaned, thinking it was only fair that I gave her warning. 

"I'm going to come..." I said as I felt my balls tighten. I held my breath, the muscles within my abdomen tensed, she could feel it, and I was holding it in, wanting it to last longer, being a typical male. 

"Baby, did you hear me? Move your head," I managed to say, still not letting myself go, thinking about anything and everything to try and stop the inevitable from happening. 

"No Zac, I want to taste you, I want you to come in my mouth, just relax, let yourself go baby," she told me before beginning to suck on me some more. I looked down at her and stopped thinking other thoughts, I stopped feeling embarrassed. I let myself relax and enjoy it, OMG it was so good, especially that. 

"Baby, keep doing that, it feels so good, oh baby," I groaned. She was circling her tongue around the head, hitting all the nerves. 

"Baby," I reached out and tangled my fingers in her hair, I knew this was it, I was gone, I only had the tip of me in her mouth. 

"Put your hands on me baby, please," I whispered as she wrapped her hands around me and squeezed gently, slightly moving them up and down my shaft. 

"Baby, your making me come, oh baby, I'm coming...baby," I moaned loudly. I felt myself explode into her mouth and she continued to move her hands, but softly now, in a caressing way. 

When I had recovered my breath I pulled Lilliahna up so I could kiss her. 

"Thank-you baby," I said as I got out the shower so she could do whatever she needed to do. 

I didn't leave her alone for long.



Lilliahna & Zac Ch. 07



~*~ Lilliahna ~*~

"Lil, Baby, what am I going to wear?" Zac asked as he stuck his head back into the bathroom fifteen minutes later. 

"Clothes is a good start, otherwise I don't think I'll be able to leave you alone," I giggled as I wrapped the towel around me and headed into the bedroom. 

"Hello?" I asked, as someone knocked on the door. 

"Can I come in?" it was Jess. I opened the door. 

"What is it?" 

"Isabella is crying, I don't know what to do." 

"Where are your parents?" I asked, following her into the lounge room. 

"The funeral place rang and they had to go and organise some last minute things," Jess said, getting upset. 

"Hey, don't worry honey, I'm not mad. Let's see what's wrong hey?" I asked picking up Issy. I felt her nappy, she was very wet. 

"Jess, she just has a wet nappy, she hates it when her nappy is wet. How about I take her now and you go and get ready?" I asked. Jess nodded as she skipped off to get organised. 

"Wow, can I have a hug now?" Matt asked, as he came into the room. I was still only wearing a towel. 

"Sure matey," I said grabbing him. 

"Now I'd better go and get ready. See you later," I said as I wandered back into the bedroom and shut the door. Zac was still standing in his towel, staring at his clothes. 

"Baby, is it that hard to pick?" I asked him as I changed Issy and put her in her cot to play with her teddy. 

"Yeah, it's the last time I'm gunna be with Dad, I want to look respectable." I nodded and understood where he was coming from. I picked up a pair of black dress pants and told him to put them on. He then grabbed a white dress shirt and tried to find his tie. 

"Wait up babe," I said coming over to him and undoing the top couple of buttons. 

"I don't think we have time Lil," he said, tugging on my towel. 

"No babe, there, now you look great," I said winking at him and pulling my dress over my head, so far with nothing under it. 

"Aren't you wearing bras or undies?" he asked. I gave him a look and pulled the most sexiest black G out of my bag and pulled it on. 

"Happy?" I asked. 

"How am I meant to concentrate now I know what you have under that gorgeous little black dress?" he asked, circling his waist with his arms. I shrugged. 

"Could you dress Issy while I do my make-up?" I asked him. 

"In what?" he replied. I pulled out a little pink dress from her bag. It was the most formal thing she owned and I thought it would be suitable. She couldn't wear black, she was too little. He managed ok, and once my make-up was done I combed some mousse into my hair. I left some on my fingers and roughed Zac's hair up a bit. 

"Now, we are going to be the hottest people out today," I told him as I slipped on my heels and picked up Issy. 

"You ready baby?" I asked him. He slowly nodded and I picked up my black clutch, which I had shoved lots of tissues into. He would need them, not being mean, but I could sense he was close to becoming a mess already. I looked at the time. It was 1 o'clock. 

"Time to go and get organised," I told him as I handed him Issy and grabbed her nappy bag. As we got to the lounge room Zac's uncles were back. 

"Where's Fay and Kate?" he asked. 

"Getting ready. Now don't you guys look like a little family?" commented Tony. 

"Thanks, I think," Zac said. 

"We are going to head off now and meet you there. There is something we have to do first," I informed them as I led the way out the door to the car. I put Issy into her car seat and the pram in the boot. 

"Where are we going Lilliahna. I don't feel like going anywhere at the moment," Zac told me. He wasn't in a state to drive so instead I did. 

"I've arranged a surprise for you," I said, handing him his sunnies and slipping a dummy into my bag. 

~*~ Zac ~*~

I had no idea where Lil was taking me. I wasn't in the mood for surprises and I didn't want to get annoyed at her. She loved me, so I knew she understood what was going on. I was surprised as we pulled up outside of the funeral home. 

"What are we doing here? We are an hour early," I told her. 

"Babe I know. It's ok, they know we are coming. Can you get the pram please?" she asked, fixing her make-up in the mirror, not giving anything away. I took a deep breath so I wouldn't argue with her and did as she asked. 

Once she had safely buckled Isabella in her pram she turned to me and put her arms around me. 

"Baby, I know the last time you're saw your Dad was horrible. It isn't how I'd want to remember any of my loved ones. I've organised it so you can see him now, so you can say goodbye to him on your own before everyone gets here. If you don't want to that's ok. But I thought you might like to," She told me, hugging me to her. 

"Are you serious?" I asked her, my voice choked with emotion. 

"You did this for me?" I felt my eyes feel with tears. 

"Baby, I want to make this as easy as I can on you. You ready?" she asked as she turned around. I followed her inside and stood in a daze while she explained it all. The woman at the desk led us to the door. 

"Do you want me to come with you Zac?" Lil asked me. I nodded, looking at the door. "Would you mind watching my little sister Isabella for me? I would really appreciate her not with us at this moment, if not it's ok, we couldn't get anyone to watch her," I heard Lil ask the woman. 

"Sure, I have half an hour free until I need to be somewhere, I could play with her until then." 

"Thank-you," I said as I gave her a small smile and looked at Lil. 

"When you're ready," the woman said, leaving us alone. Lil gently took my hand and pushed the door open, gently urging me inside. 

"You want to do this Zac, I mean you don't have to," Lil said, worry in her voice.

"I do," I said quietly. "I just don't know what to say." 

"Speak from your heart. Did you want me to go, I don't want you to feel that I have to stay," Lil said. I knew she was letting me go, to do this by myself, but I wanted her near me, to catch me as I fell which I knew I was going to do. I put my arm around her, my hand resting on her hip. I felt her arm move behind me and she slowly moved me forward.

As I approached Dad, what used to be Dad, I felt the tears begin to fall, and my knees grow weak. 

"I'm sorry Dad," I said, before falling to my knees and dissolving into tears. I heard Lil start crying behind me, but knew she wasn't crying for her, she was crying because of the pain she saw me in. 

I only knew because she had said it so many times before. But I loved her for it, I loved feeling cared for. She raised one hand and let it rest on my shoulder, knowing better than I myself did about what I needed right now. 

"I'm sorry I got angry with you for not being there for me Dad, I'm sorry I blamed you for what happened with Mum. I know it wasn't your fault. I know that now, I knew it all along, I was just so angry, I didn't know what else to do. I'm sorry I left that night Dad, I couldn't handle seeing you do this to yourself. I'm sorry for running away when you needed me the most," I had to stop here because I was crying so hard I couldn't get the words out. 

Yet Lil must have sensed that I wanted to say more because she didn't move. I knew if she showed me how much she cared I would lose it and not be able to finish. I once again thought to myself how much I loved her. 

"Dad, I know we have both done wrong things, but I am sorry that we never got a chance to fix what had gone bad between us. You were once my hero, than I thought of you as the villain who had destroyed my life. But now, that I have stopped and thought about it, and had some help understanding everything from the most amazing person in the world, I see that I was yet again wrong. You are my hero Dad. 

"You taught me what it meant to love someone with your whole heart. You taught me how to be a gentleman. You taught me how to ride a bike and kick a football. You're my hero Dad, and if I turn out to be half the man, and the father, that you were I would be happy. I'm sorry I never made the time to tell you this. I love you Dad, I always will. Goodbye Dad," I said as the tears overtook me again. 

I turned and reached for the one person I had left in the world, and just as I knew she would, she caught me as I fell. I was crying so hard that I could hardly breath, and Lil picked up on this when she began to make soothing noises and rub my back, the same way I had seen her calm done Isabella when she woke up crying. 

It worked though. I felt my breathing slow down and the tears stopped falling as fast. She offered me a tissue and I mopped my streaming eyes. I saw her do the same out of the corner of my eyes. 

"Lilliahna, thank-you for giving me this opportunity. Thank-you so much," I said pulling her to me. We sat like that for a little while, before there was a knock at the door and the woman stuck her head in. 

"I have to go now," she said. Lil motioned her to push the pram in and mouthed thank-you. I started crying again. She held me tighter and I soon calmed down. 

"You ok?" she asked and she looked me in the eyes. I nodded and she kissed me. She wiped the last few tears away with her fingers. 

"I love you Zac. What you said to your Dad was beautiful. I know you probably don't believe me but I know that he knew you loved him. I could tell when I spoke to him over the phone." I kissed her again and gave her one last hug. 

Isabella started to cry and as Lil motioned to get up to get her I stopped her. Instead I went over to her and got her out of her pram. 

"Hey Bella," I whispered to her, as I rubbed her back and held her against me. 

"You know Bella means beautiful don't you? I am going to call you that now, coz if I get my way you are going to be my little sister. I hope you realise how lucky you are, you have the most amazing sister. We both love her very much don't we?" I asked her, holding her back from me a bit so I could look at her. 

She was babbling away in her own little language. I looked back at Lil and saw a tear trickle down her face. 

"What's the matter baby?" I asked as I made my way over to her and sat on the ground. 

"You are so amazing with her. I heard you get up to her last night. You soothe her so quickly. She adores you, I love seeing you with her. You are going to make an amazing father Zac," she told me as she took Issy and put her on the ground to crawl around. 

I looked up at the clock and saw that it was just after two. Time to go and greet everyone before the funeral started. I picked up Issy and carried her, while Lil got her pram and tucked it into a corner. While I was saying hello to everyone that came, explaining how the baby wasn't mine and introducing Lilliahna; I was gently rocking Issy in my arms. I didn't even realise I was doing it until my Nanna Watson came in, exclaiming that I was a natural. 

I looked down to see what she meant and saw that Issy had gone to sleep. She was snuggled up to my and had her little hand woven around part of my shirt. I felt so possessive over her, I didn't want to let her go. I reluctantly let Lil gently take her from me to put her into her pram so she could sleep. I was still talking to Nanna when she came back and I put my arm around her. 

At quarter to three Lil took Issy's pram into the funeral room and parked it near to where we would be sitting. I joined her in there not long after, as most people had heading in to find a seat. Before I knew it the funeral was starting and I had Lil on one side of me holding my hand and Nanna on the other side of me, holding my other hand.

I don't remember much of the funeral. I remember falling into a mess of tears, and Lil holding out tissues for me. Nanna had her arms around me and pulled me towards her, just like she used to when I was little and had a nightmare. It was comforting being in her arms. 

The funeral was nearly over when I heard Issy wake, she had been asleep for nearly two hours now. Lil got her then came back and sat next to me. I reached out for Issy and held her close. She snuggled into me and I felt calmer. I loved this little girl. 

As my Uncles and Dads closest friends got up to carry the casket, I did as well, passing Issy to Lil. I was helping take him to the car that would take him away. I got outside and managed to put the coffin into the hearse before collapsing. I saw Lil hand Issy to Nanna and come running over to me. 

She helped me to my feet and took me back inside. When we were alone she let me sit on the ground and made sure she knew I loved her. She said it over and over again while she held me to her. Once I had calmed down and we went back outside most people had gone. Nanna was sitting in the corner with Issy on her lap, who was in a fit of giggles. I took her from Nanna and went out to the car.

~*~ Lilliahna ~*~

"Is he ok?" Zac's Nanna asked as he took Issy to put her in the car. 

"I don't think so. He should be fine, but I knew today would be hard for him."

Zac called out to me that he was ready to go and I asked his Nanna if she had a ride. She said no, so I told her to come with us. 

No one said much on the ride back to the hall where the wake was being held. Once we got there we put Issy into her pram and Leah came running over asking if she could take Issy. 

"Don't get her out of the pram ok," I told her as she carefully pushed the pram back to where Jess and Kim was sitting. 

"I'll go and keep an eye on them," Nanna Watson said as she followed Leah. Zac took my hand as we wandered inside. I hardly knew anyone, but learnt a lot about James, Zac's father, from listening to all the stories people told Zac about him. 

He sounded like an amazing man; I wished I had a chance to get to meet him. 

After about an hour Zac pulled me to him and whispered into my ear. 

"Come on babe, let's get out of here. The whole time people keep telling me these stories all I can think about is what you are, or aren't, wearing under that dress. I can feel the strap of you G as I rest my hand on your hip and its driving me crazy." I smiled, knowing exactly what he meant. I had never seen Zac dressed up before and he had never looked so hot. 

Just as we were about to make our escape another man came up to us and started reminiscing about the times he had with James. While he was saying this I slid my hand down into the band of Zac's pants until my fingers felt his warm skin, I stroked his arse with my fingers, getting more and more excited. 

"Excuse me Morris," I heard a familiar voice say. I turned around and saw Grandma Davidson heading towards us. 

"I'm glad I caught you. Do you remember that time you and James went fishing?" she asked leading him away, winking at us over Morris' shoulder. 

"Let's go babe," I said, hurrying for the exit. On the way out I saw the girls, Nanna and Issy. 

"Hey, I have to take Zac for a while, he needs to get some fresh air, do you guys think you'll be able to watch Issy for a while?" I asked them. They nodded and I told them I would be back as soon as I could. I don't know what it was with old people winking at me today, but as I turned around to leave, Nanna gave me a wink. They must know what we are up to, I thought as I hurried away. 

~*~ Zac ~*~

Lil met me at the car and jumped in the passenger seat. I was driving this time and she grabbed my hand and put it on her thigh, just below where her dress ended. She reached over and skilfully undid my pants and before I knew it, her hands were on me and I let out a small moan. 

"Lil, you can't do this while I'm driving," I told her, pretending to be angry. She re-did up the zip on my pants but left the button undone. I thought she was going to behave until she slipped my finger into her mouth and began to suck on it. 

"Baby, you can't do that...oh, ok...don't stop," I groaned as she slipped my finger further into her mouth. I had the door open as soon as the car came to a stop and we were at the front door in no time. She had her body pressed against mine, kissing my neck as I fumbled to get the key in the lock. As soon as we were inside, before the door was even fully shut behind us, she had my pants undone and on the ground and half the buttons on my shirt undone too. 

"Oh, you are in trouble now," I moaned, reaching for her and nuzzling into her neck, covering her skin with soft kisses. I picked her up and carried her to the bedroom, leaving my pants and shirt near the front door. I set her down on the floor long enough to pull her dress over her head before pushing her back onto the bed. She lifted her hips as I slid off her G and I pulled down my on boxers. 

"Hurry baby," she said. "I am so hot for you." Her hand had moved between her legs and she was rubbing her clit. Her eyes were closed and her breathing fast. 

"Lilli, oh baby, you had better stop that pretty soon, or I'm not going to last another minute," I told her as I kissed her and moved between her legs. 

"Make love to me Zac," she murmured into my lips. I pushed myself into her and her moan nearly made me come. She was definitely turned on, her body pushed hard against mine and her hands running over my back. 

"Oh Zac, harder, baby, faster," she moaned, moving against me. I pushed myself into her and she began to cry out. 

"Baby, oh baby, that feels so good." I couldn't help myself, I want more of her, I wanted to get closer. I bent my head and caught one of her nipples in my mouth. Sucking on it I pushed myself into her harder still. 

"Baby, come for me, come with me, please, come with me NOW," she screamed the last word. I thrust into her one last time before exploding. I kept moving in her until the waves of pleasure slowly ebbed away and I fell onto her, exhausted, not just physically but emotionally too. 

"I love you," she whispered into my ear as she hugged me. 

"I love you too," I told her back as I closed my eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.

~*~ Lilliahna ~*~

As I felt Zac falling asleep, I contemplated waking him but decided that, after the day he had had I would let him sleep. I carefully slipped out from underneath him and pulled my dress and G back on. 

Tiptoeing from the room I turned to look at him, he was still on his tummy, completely naked, his cute little butt on display to the world. I smiled as I quickly headed back to the car to get Issy and Nanna.

I found them, exactly where they were when I left them. As I approached Fay came up to me. 

"We've been looking for you everywhere. Where is Zac, there's someone here who wants to meet him," she told me. 

"I'm sorry I had to take him home. He wasn't coping. He's fast asleep at the moment." 

"Is that so?" Fay said with a smile while she reached out to smooth down my hair. 

"Wasn't coping with what exactly?" I just smiled and went to get Isabella and take her home. I could see she was tired and she was starting to whinge. 

"Thank-you girls. I'll see you all when you get home ok. I saw the best looking chocolate cake over there. Have you had some?" I asked them. 

"No," they informed me, running off to find it. 

"Can I have a ride home?" Nanna Watson asked me. "I feel out of place here, and I'm ready for my afternoon nap." 

"Yeah sure, let's go."

As I unlocked the front door I remembered Zac's clothes were still lying on the ground next to the front door. I smiled at Nanna as I picked them up and she winked at me again. I knew that it was no big deal to her and that she wouldn't tell anyone. I went into the bedroom with Issy and put her in her cot. I cuddled up to Zac and fell asleep, after all, it had been an emotionally draining day.

~*~ Zac ~*~

I woke up to find Lil next to me, the room quite dark and Issy babbling away to her teddy bears in her cot. I quickly pulled some clothes on and took Issy into the kitchen to get her something to eat. My family was already there, eating the pizza's that they had ordered. 




Lilliahna & Zac Ch. 07



"Hey, where did you disappear to Zac?" Matt asked me. 

"I wasn't coping so Lil brought me home. I pretty much fell asleep straight away," I said, laughing as I put Issy into her high chair and getting her some custard. 

Lil came out just as we were putting everything away and had some of the pizza. The kids were put to bed and the adults gathered together the last of their things before coming into the lounge room to chat for a while. 

"Kate, Fay, would you mind if Zac and I gave the girls ten dollars each for having Issy for us today when I had to take Zac home?" Lil asked them. She hadn't mentioned anything to me about doing this but I thought it was a good idea. 

"You don't have to do that, but it's ok with me if you want to," Kate said, while Fay just nodded. 

"But Matt might feel left out." 

"No, he won't. I'm going to give him twenty dollars to take Dani out for tea sometime when he gets home," Zac said, a big smile on his face. 

"Hopefully we will get to meet her when we come down and see you guys next time," he added. We talked for a bit longer before deciding that it was probably bedtime, as they had a long drive tomorrow.

As I crawled into bed, Lil pulled me over to her and whispered how proud she was of me and how much she loved me. I snuggled into her further and told her that I loved her too. We soon drifted off to sleep. 



Lilliahna & Zac Ch. 08



~*~ Lilliahna ~*~

I woke up to Isabella's crying at half past six the next morning. Zac was beginning to stir so I told him to go back to sleep and got her up. I changed her nappy and went out into the kitchen to give her breakfast while I got myself a cup of coffee to wake up. 

I went into my purse and found two ten dollar notes and luckily enough, in Zac's wallet was another ten and a twenty-dollar note. I shoved them into the pockets on my dressing gown. Everyone, except Zac, was already up and dressed and getting some breakfast before they headed home. 

Once breakfast was over and the dishes done, I went and woke up Zac to say goodbye to all his family members. 

"Jessica, Kim and Leah, could you come here for a little bit please?" I asked. 

"What is it Lil?" asked Leah as they came over to where I was standing. 

"Thank-you again so much for looking after Isabella for me and Zac yesterday," I said as I handed them each ten dollars. They seemed happy with it, they probably hadn't been paid for babysitting before. They ran off to show their Mums while I watched as Zac pulled Matt aside and gave him the twenty. Matt gave Zac a huge hug and came over to give me one too. After there had been hugs all round they got into their cars and drove off. Zac pulled me too him.

"Now, we can go back to bed," he whispered. I smiled as I bent down to pick up Isabella. Now we could play happy little families until Mum and Dad got home.

I found Zac in the shower when I got back into the bedroom with Issy and decided she could probably use a wash as well. I pulled off all my clothes, and then hers before heading in to join Zac. He reached out for Issy as I stepped under the warm water and gently tickled her. She squirmed and Zac decided that he should stop as she got slippery to hold. We washed her hair before Zac decided that he would take her to get dressed. 

"Have a long shower Lil, I think we should invite the others over today to catch up, we haven't seen them in a while." I nodded as he closed the door. A long hot shower was just what I felt like. When I finally got out of the shower and had gotten dressed and done my make-up I wandered off to find Zac. He was in the lounge room with Summer and Billy. 

"Hey," I said, as I sat on the floor with Issy. She crawled over to me and put her head on my lap. We laughed at her before I turned to Summer to chat. 

"I need to tell you something later," Summer whispered to me when the boys weren't paying attention.

"Lil, baby, we are going to go outside and kick the footy," Zac said standing up and going over to Issy. 

"Hey Bella," he said to her as he kissed her on the forehead. 

"You want to come and have some boys' time?" she giggled and clapped her hands so they took her with them. 

"He is so cute with her Lil," Sum cried out as they left. 

"I know. I love seeing them together," I said with a smile. "What were you going to tell me?"

"Oh, I like Billy, I really, really do. But I don't know how to tell him because I know he still likes you and that he hasn't really had a girlfriend since you. I just don't know what to do," she confided in me. I laughed at her. 

"What is so funny?" Summer demanded. 

"Oh nothing really, just the fact that Zac was planning to try and hook you two up sometime in the near future, and I bet he is, at this minute, planting that exact seed of thought into Billy's mind." It took a moment for it all to register in Summer's mind but once it had she started laughing too. 

"Let's go and investigate," I said, as I got up and headed for the laundry. I opened the door slightly so I could hear what they were saying. 

"So I was wondering, what do you think of Summer?" Zac asked as they were kicking the footy. Isabella was in the outside playpen and I could see that Zac was keeping a pretty good eye on her while he was chatting to Billy. I heard Summer slowly crawl in beside me. 

"She's awesome. She's Lil's best friend and she is so hot. But Summer would never be interested in me Zac, girls have this weird rule where they won't date a friend's ex-boyfriend. If it wasn't for that I would ask her out for sure." I looked at Summer and saw her smile. 

"Yeah, but didn't you and Lil have a thing way back in like year seven? Does it even count if it was that long ago?" Zac asked. 

"I don't know man, I don't know. Girls are complicated when they get older," Billy said as he wandered over to Isabella and picked her up. 

"Why can't they stay cute and easy to understand like you are Issy?" Billy asked as he headed for the back door, where we were sitting. I turned around and quickly crawled back towards the lounge room. I heard Summer quickly following me and we managed to get to the lounge room before the guys came inside. We burst out laughing. 

"What did we miss?" asked Billy as he came in and sat Issy on the floor. 

"Nothing, just girl stuff," Summer said, as we continued laughing. Zac gave me a funny look, like he knew what was going on, but he chose not to say anything.

~*~ Zac ~*~

"Let's go out for lunch," I told them all. "It will be good fun." Lil went and got Issy's pram while I grabbed a bottle from the fridge. We decided to walk to the cafe, which wasn't that far away. 

When we got there we ordered and I noticed that Summer was flirting with Billy, confirming my suspicions that Lil and Sum had been listening to what we were saying while we were kicking the footy. 

"Can I get a small milkshake for Issy?" I asked Lil. 

"Um, let her have some of yours," she told me. "It might make her sick if she has too much coz of the flavouring." 

"Billy," Summer said quietly. "If you buy me lunch I'll make it up to you later." He looked at her and nodded. Looks like they would hook up after all. 

Lunch was a quite affair. I fed Issy while I noticed that Lil had eaten hardly anything. Summer was still flirting with Billy and he was glancing at Lil every now and then to see how she reacted. She didn't seem to notice. 

After a couple of hours, Issy began to whinge and we decided to head home. Just after we got home Lil's mobile rang and she left the room to answer it. Summer and Billy decided that they should head home so I said goodbye and got Issy out of her pram. I turned on the TV and cuddled Issy to me as I watched one of the movies that was on. Lil joined me not long after. 

"Hey baby, who was on the phone?" I asked her. 

"It was Mum. They are going to be heading home tomorrow and have invited us around for a BBQ lunch so they can get to know you better." 

"That means Isabella won't be here anymore won't it?" I asked Lil. 

"Yeah baby, but I'm sure Mum will still let you see Issy whenever you want," Lil told me, as I put my arm around her and pulled her to me. 

"Why didn't you eat much today sweetheart?" I asked concerned. 

"I didn't feel hungry. It's ok baby, I'll look after myself," Lil said, tickling me. 

"I know," I said, gently smacking her hand away. 

"But I am allowed to worry about you Lil, I love you." 

"I love you too Zac. I'll love you forever," she told me as she hugged me.

It wasn't long before Lil fell asleep as well and I looked at her, wondering how it was that she could make me feel so many different emotions all at the same time. She made me laugh when nothing was funny and cry when nothing was sad (ok, so maybe not cry but you know what I mean). I don't know how she did it, but I loved her so much that it didn't matter. I wanted her to be with me forever. 

I carefully removed my arm, which I had around Lil so I could turn off the TV. I picked up Issy, who woke up and started to cry. I took her into the kitchen and talked to her about nonsense while I waited for her bottle to warm up. Again I thought about how amazing it was that two people created something so wonderful and found myself thinking about how much I wanted kids. I had never really thought about it before, but after spending all this time with Bella I found myself thinking about it more and more. 

I took Issy and the bottle into my room and fed her the bottle. Afterwards I changed her nappy and put her into the little jumpsuit that she slept in at night. I still couldn't believe that I knew how to change a nappy, or that I would do it happily.

'Who knew so much would change in such a short amount of time?' I thought as I tucked Bella into bed.

I went into the lounge room to get Lil and found her still asleep. I gently put my arms under her and picked her up, cradling her to me. She was the most important thing in my life right now; I don't know how I coped with everything before she came along. She seemed to know what I wanted and how I would react to something even before I did and I couldn't believe that she was finally mine.

As I gently tucked her into bed I knew there was no way I could ever let her go. To lose her would make my life seem like it wasn't worth living and it was then that I decided that I would ask her parents if I could marry her. I knew that you didn't need to ask the parents anymore but I still wanted too, mainly because we were so young. Family was important to me and I wanted to make sure that Lil's family approved of us getting married before I asked Lil.

*~* Lilliahna ~*~

I woke up the next morning and glanced at the clock. It was a little after eleven already. Issy was quietly playing in her cot. I got up to get her. 

"You want to wake up Zac?" I asked her as I placed her on the bed and let her crawl over to him.

She placed her head on his and poked him in the tummy. Zac began to stir and Issy began to giggle. 

"What are you doing Bella?" he asked, scooping her up and chucking her into the air before catching her. She was squealing with laughter I smiled. They were so cute together. 

Some people say they could tell they had conceived a baby because of their body reacting to it. I felt different and wondered if the first time we had made love whether we conceived a baby. Of course, it was way too early to tell with a pregnancy test, but after watching Zac with Issy I wasn't worried about his reaction if I did turn out to be pregnant.

"I'm gunna have a shower and get ready, we have to head around to Mum's soon," I said, tickling Issy and lightly kissing Zac. 

"Ok babe. I have to duck down the street and grab some stuff, can I take Issy?" he asked me. 

I nodded as I headed into the bathroom, wondering what Zac had to get that couldn't wait. 

By the time I had gotten out of the shower and done my hair and make-up Zac was back, but there was no sign of what he had bought.

"You all ready to go?" I asked him as I headed into the lounge to pack up Issy's toys. But Zac had already done all of that and put it all in the car. 

"Yep, just waiting for you baby," he said, putting his arm around me and pulling me close. 

"Bella sandwich," he said, rubbing his nose against hers. She started laughing. I think they would really miss each other when we took her home.

"Mum? Dad? Grandma?" I called out as I headed inside with Issy. Zac insisted that he would unload the car while I got to catch up with everyone, he would meet them after. 

"Lil," Mum sung out, rushing into the lounge room to give me and Issy a hug. "I missed you both so much." 

"It was only a few days mum," I told her, laughing and hugging her back.

Then Dad came in and I hugged him too, I was definitely a daddy's girl. 

"You're looking really good Lil," dad commented. I don't know what it was lately but I was feeling really good. It had almost been a week since Zac and I had made love, probably still too early to tell, but the more I thought about it the more I thought that I was pregnant. I would keep it to myself until I found out for sure tho.

"Hey, where would you like me to put all of Bella's stuff?" Zac asked, coming in through the front door.

"Just leave it here, Jacob and I will put it away later. You don't have to unpack it now though if you don't want to Zac," Mum told him, going over and giving him a hug.

"No, it's almost done. Then we won't have to worry about it later," he said, heading outside to get some more.

"Where's grandma?" I asked. I thought I should go and say hello to her because it had been a long time since I had seen her.

"She's in the guest room unpacking her things. She didn't want me or Ann to help her but being her favourite granddaughter, she might accept some help from you Lilli. We don't know how long she's going to be staying for, it will depend on what the doctor says in her follow up visit in a week," Dad told me.

"Ok," I said laughing as I gave Dad another hug before heading off to find grandma.

"Grandma?" I called out as I knocked on the door or her room. "Can I come in?"

"Lil? Baby is that you?" she asked throwing open the door and pulling me too her. 

"Yeah Grandma it's me," I said hugging her back.

"Let me have a look at you, it's been months since I saw you last," she said, pushing me back an arm's length and looking me over. "Wow Lil, you got so tall and beautiful. You seem to be practically glowing. You must be happy at the moment," She said, pulling me back to her for another hug.

"I am Grandma, I met the most amazing guy, and although we've only been together for about a week it feels like we've been dating for years. He's been through a hard time, his father just died about a week ago and his mother died a bit before that. But he is amazing, he really makes me so incredibly happy," I said. 

"I can tell Lil, you light up talking about him. Am I going to meet this young man that's stolen your heart today?" she asked.

"Yes Grandma, you definitely are. And I hope you like him because I really can see myself with him for a long time to come."

"That's really good Lil. Did you want to help me with my things? Give us a chance to catch up?" Grandma asked me.

"Definitely," I said with a smile.

~*~ Zac ~*~

"This is the last of it," I said as I put the pram and port-a-cot on the floor of the lounge room. "Would I be able to talk to you guys?"

"Sure Zac," replied Ann, sitting on the lounge. "What about?"

"I know this may seem too fast to you but I want you to know how much I truly care for and love Lilliahna. I would not have gotten through the last few days without her. Even though we have only been officially together for about a week it feels a lot longer. You probably will not agree to what I'm about to ask you, and I can understand why you wouldn't, since we are both so young and you hardly know me. 

"My family background definitely goes against me for this. But I could give her everything she ever wants or needs. I already have a nice house, perfect for starting a family if that was what she wanted to do. We also own a unit in the city for if she chose to go to Uni once she has finished year twelve. Last I spoke to her she was undecided if that's what she really wanted. I don't need an answer right now, I understand that you probably want to think about it for a while, I just thought it wouldn't hurt in asking and I won't do anything that you aren't going to approve of, she is your daughter and she respects and values your decisions and opinions, and so do I. I just do not want to lose her. Anyways, I should probably just get to the point hey. I was wondering if you would allow me to ask Lilliahna to marry me?"

I just looked at the ground, I didn't want to see their reactions, they couldn't be very good. 

"Zac, at this point we aren't going to say no, but we would like to get to know you a bit better. Is it ok to wait a while?" Jacob asked me.

"Yes, I would wait forever for her," I said. 'I'm sounding so clichéd and corny,' I thought.

Ann smiled at my comment. "I don't see why we wouldn't say yes in the future though Zac. Thank-you very much for asking. It's appreciated," She said.

"What's appreciated?" Asked Lil, coming into the room with her Grandma. 

"Having both you and Issy over the last few days while we were out of town," Jacob quickly covered. 

"I'm hungry, let's go and start lunch. Zac, you can help Jacob with the Barbeque, and Lil, you can help me," Ann added as she helped Grandma into a comfy chair and handed her the remote.

"Have fun baby," Lil called after me as I followed her father outside.

"Have you ever cooked a Barbeque before," Jacob asked me.

I shook my head and when I received a puzzled look from Jacob I decided to explain.

"Mum got cancer when I was 7. She was told she wouldn't have long to live so we spent a lot of time doing family things. However she didn't listen to the doctors, and went into remission. It came back a few years later, however Mum must have known that this time it was worse, so she didn't tell anyone about the pain she was experiencing. I guess she wanted to have things normal for a little bit longer. When she finally went to the doctors they said there was nothing they could do, so Dad quit his job and began around the clock care for her.

"After she died it was like he had lost apart of himself, and barbeques just didn't happen anymore. He just spent his time drinking and wallowing in self pity. Im sure he wasn't being selfish on purpose, I mean it was just as hard on me, but although I wanted him to know that I still loved him, there was no way I could. He hurt me. So when he died that night I felt so guilty that I hadn't tried harder to pull him out of the depression that he had sunk himself into. I don't think I will ever stop feeling guilty about it. We never had a proper barbeque after mum was first diagnosed, and at 7 I was too young to be able to learn properly."

"Well them, it's about time you learnt," Jacob said, the sympathetic look disappearing. The last thing I wanted was for him to feel sorry for me. 

"Yes sir," I said, with a mock salute, causing both of us to start laughing. 

"What's so funny out here?" Lil asked as she came out and hugged me.

"Your man here is about to learn how to cook a barbeque, so if the food is unedible blame him," Dad said, handing me the tongs and taking a step back.

"I think I'll go inside where it's a bit safer," Lil said, kissing me on the cheek. Jacob just nodded.

"Ok, let's get this food cooking," he said with a smile.

~*~ Lilliahna ~*~

"So hows things been with Zac?" Mum asked me as we were making salads.

"Really really great Mum, I cannot believe that he is finally mine. I know we don't normally do the girly chats but after everything he's been through and everything he's lost I think we should start. I guess he's taught me not to take things for granted, you never know when something you love will be gone.

"But Mum, he is amazing. He makes me feel like the only person in the world. He cares about me so much and it's shown in the little things he does for me. I know we've only been together for a short amount of time but I really love him. I'm surprised at how easy its come to me, I mean we are so young, I shouldn't even be thinking about it, but I want him to be the person I have a family with. And you should see him with Issy, they are so cute together. She followed him around when she stayed with us. I don't want to lose him mum. I know he will never stop me from doing everything I want in life, he wants what will make me happy. I don't think I will ever find someone as amazing as him. Ever," I said. A smile spread across Mum's face.

"What?" I asked her.

"Nothing, I've just never heard you so happy," she said, looking up as Zac came in. 

"The foods almost ready," he said coming over to me and affectionately placing a kiss on the side of my head. I heard Issy start to cry as she woke up from her nap.

"Can I go and get her?" Zac asked Mum. She just nodded, my bet was that she was curious about the thing they had going on.

I just laughed as I went into the lounge room to wake Grandma and tell her that lunch was ready.




Lilliahna & Zac Ch. 08



We all went outside and sat down waiting for Zac to finish with Issy. 

"What is taking him so long Lil?" Mum asked.

"He always changes her nappy when he gets her up, and it takes him ages coz he tickles her and stuff. It's so cute to watch, she really adores him," I said as Zac came out with Issy, who was still giggling.

Mum just smiled a suspicious looking smile, and I wondered what she was possibly thinking about.

Lunch was a fairly quiet affair, with everyone lost in their own thoughts. Except Zac, he was feeding Issy and talking to her about random things. When she knocked the spoon and the custard fell onto Zac's jeans he just laughed and used a napkin to wipe it off. Issy could do anything to him, he just loved her so much that she could get away with it. 

After we had finished eating Zac put Issy on the grass to crawl around and started to collect the dishes so he could take them inside. Issy was crawling after him as he headed into the kitchen, causing Mum and Dad to laugh. 

"Lil, he's amazing," Mum said. "So patient with Issy, he fits right in doesn't he?" I just smiled and nodded, glad that they finally go to see the real Zac. 

A few hours later I told Mum and Dad that I would be back later and stood up to head to Zac's house for a little bit longer. 

"Lil, we need to talk first. Could you go and change Issy Zac?" mum asked him. He just nodded before gathering Issy into his arms and leaving the room.

"Lil, we really like Zac. He told us earlier how much he cared about you and we can see that. And he is amazing with Issy, just like you said. We have to talk about it a little bit more but we were thinking that you might be able to move in with him, you're going to be spending enough time there to make it worth it. We just wanted to let you know that we really like him, and that we are glad you found someone as sweet as him," Dad told me, coming over and giving me a hug. I was suspicious, something was being planned.

"Young man," Mum said as Zac came back into the room. After glancing at Dad she continued. "We've decided yes." 

"Really?" he asked, coming over and giving her a hug and shaking Dad's hand.

"Yes on what?" I asked, picking up Issy and giving her a cuddle. 

"Just some stuff we talked about earlier. It doesn't concern you," Mum said.

I just nodded and gave them a hug goodbye.

"I'll be home later," I called out as I shut the door behind me. As soon as I turned around Zac pulled me too him in a tight hug and covered my face in kisses. 

"What is it baby?" I asked.

"Nothing, I'm just really, really happy," he said, as he took my hand. 

"I can tell," I commented. But over what?



Lilliahna & Zac Ch. 09



Hey everyone. I didn't like how the other chapter was written so I re-did it. Here's the new version. I'm halfway through the next chapter so that should be up soon too. Hope u like it. x

~*~ Lilliahna ~*~

"So, I'm behind on my Maths, would you be able to help me?" Zac asked as he closed the front door behind me. 

"Maths is why you're so excited?" I asked him, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"No it isn't, but my excitement isn't important just yet. You'll find out soon enough," he added as he saw the look on my face. With a sigh I let Zac go and followed him into the office. I guess I would just have to wait.

~

The next two months went by really fast. It was filled with assignments and essays and classes. Zac and I hung out every chance we got but it was mostly to study. Exams were a few weeks away and then the year would be over. Zac and I had decided to take some time off from study and just chill out. He picked me up from my house once he had finished his final essay of the year.

"I'll meet you inside," Zac said, jumping out the car and running into the house. Curious, I got my stuff from the backseat and followed him inside.

There was a trail of rose petals leading into the lounge so I followed them. In the lounge room were candles and roses. Zac was standing in the middle, a smile on his face, his hands behind his back.

"Lil," he said, coming over to me and producing a single white rose from behind his back. 

"What's going on Zac?" I asked, taking the rose and smelling its gentle fragrance.

Zac just smiled at me and got down on one knee.

"Oh my God. Are you serious?" I said, as everything clicked in my head.

"Lilliahna Thomas. I know we have only been together for a very short amount of time and that we are still only very young. But in the grand scheme of things I don't think this should matter. I have loved you from afar for a very long time now, but since we've dated my love for you has grown stronger than I ever thought love could grow. You've helped me through so much, given me so much, and made me a better person. I cannot imagine my life without you baby. Please Lilliahna. Will you marry me?"

I just stared at him. A single tear fell down my cheek as I nodded. "Yes," I whispered, holding out my hand to him. Zac slipped the ring onto my finger, it was simple and elegant. A white gold band, with a diamond set in the centre. Smaller diamonds clustered around it. 

"Thank you so much baby. You have made me so happy." He said pulling me to him tightly.

"I love you Zac," I said, kissing him hard.

"Oh, Lilli, I love you too," he said, kissing me back and pulling my body tightly against his. As our kisses grew more passionate I felt Zac's arousal through the thin material of my skirt, his desire matching mine. We had been so busy with study and assignments that we hadn't had sex in a long time. All our time together was spent sleeping, since we had worn ourselves out so much.

"I want you Zac. I want you so bad," I said in between kisses. 

Zac didn't reply. Instead he deepened the kiss and pushed me backwards against the wall. 

"I need you now Lil, I need to be in you now," he said as I unzipped his pants and pushed them and his jocks down enough to gain access to his cock. I heard him moan as I wrapped my hands around it, not that there was any need to, he was as hard as a rock and already had pre-cum gathering on the tip.

He had slipped his hand between us and pulled the material of my knickers aside, slipping first one, than two fingers inside my already soaking pussy and rubbing my clit with his thumb.

"I want you now Zac, don't tease me," I said, urgently. He just deepened the kiss before pushing my hand away. Zac gently lifted me up, pushing me back against the wall, his hands on my arse and lined himself up. As I felt the head of his cock graze against the hole of my pussy I gasped. I needed this so bad. 

"Ready Lil," he asked as he kissed me again. I nodded and moved my legs so they were wrapped firmly around his waist, my arms around his neck, as he pushed himself deep inside of me.

"Zac," I moaned, my voice laced with my desire for him. 

"Fuck me Zac, I want you. I want it hard and fast. I want you to make me scream," I whispered in his ear.

"Lil? Where did that come from, you never talk dirty to me," he said. 

"I just need you so bad. I've missed being able to do this with you. I need you," I said, nibbling on his ear lobe.

He just moved his hips, pushing himself into me as best he could while supporting me against the wall.

After a few minutes I asked him to put me down. When he did I turned around and braced myself on the wall with my hands. 

Zac got the idea and before I knew it he was back inside of me, pounding into me with all he had. 

I threw my head back so it rested on his shoulder and moaned. He felt so good. 

"Ba...by," I said, between moans, unable to string any words together.

He snaked a hand around to the front of me and into my underwear, feeling for my clit. When he applied the first bit of pressure there I moaned loudly. 

I was getting so close to coming that my knees were beginning to go weak.

"I think I might fall over from it feeling so good," I managed to say, as Zac continued to take me hard and rub my clit between his fingers. 

"I won't let you fall sweetheart," he told me, wrapping his other arm around my tummy and holding me to him. 

It was getting to much for me, my breathing began to get uneven and I started shaking with the pressure that was building up inside of me. 

"Zac, oh, baby, I'm going to cum.." I said unevenly, biting my bottom lip. Zac just started moving even faster rubbing his finger in hard little circles around my clit as I fought against the waves of pleasure that were threatening to overcome me. 

"Zac, Zac, Zac........." I screamed out as I came. Waves of pleasure broke over me again and again. I felt every muscle in my body contract with the force of pleasure that Zac had caused me.

"Lilliahna," Zac moaned as the walls of my pussy contracted around his cock. 

"Lil, Baby, Lil," he said over and over again as he came.

We slid to the floor, trying to catch our breath as we recovered from our orgasms.

"That was amazing," I said, as Zac's cock shrank and fell out of me. A flood of our combined juices followed and I cupped my hand under me just in time to catch it all. We looked at each other and laughed. 

"I love you," he said, as he scooped me up in his arms and carried me, still fully clothed, to the bathroom. 

"I love you too," I replied, nuzzling against his neck.

~*~ Zac ~*~

I left Lil in the bathroom to clean up while I went and checked on dinner. I wasn't feeling tired, despite the amazing sex that we had just had, and was so happy that she had said yes. 

20 minutes later and I had just finished dishing up tea when Lil called out to find where I was. 

"Dining room baby," I called back, going to her side of the table and pulling out the chair. 

"Oh my God, Zac. You just keep on surprising me don't you," she said, giving me a kiss before she sat down.

Tea was a quiet affair, both of us lost in our own thoughts. I couldn't help thinking how lucky I was to have Lil in my life, and how I had now found what was missing. Someone to love unconditionally, and who I knew loved me back. 

"Baby, come with me," I asked her, taking her hand and leading her into the bedroom. 

"I want you again, but this time I want to take it slow, I want to show you how happy you have made me, I want to treasure you Lilli, starting now and continuing for the rest of our lives," I said, pulling Lilli towards me and gently kissing her. 

I slid my hands up her sides, gently pulling her shirt over her head. Reaching behind her I pulled her hair from the messy bun she had thrown it in, releasing it so that it cascaded down her back. She looked up at me with her big, dark eyes and I began to feel my desire build up again.

"I love you," she said as she slipped out of her skirt and layed back on the bed, legs spread ever so slighty, making me harder at the thought of what was about to happen.

Quickly I pulled off the rest of my clothes and moved onto the bed with her. Kissing for a while as I cradled her in my arms. 

"I want you again Zac," she murmured into my mouth. 

I didn't answer, though I moved my hands around her and unclasped her bra. Trailing a line of kisses down her chest and stomach I moved towards her pussy, which was already wet with her own desire. I lightly kissed her and heard her catch her breath. Using my fingers I spread her apart and plunged my tongue into her soaking pussy.

"Zac..." she moaned as she tangled her fingers in my hair. 

I focused all my energy on her clit, licking it, sucking on it, trying to cause as much pleasure as I could to Lilli.

"Baby, you are so good. Let me suck on your cock. I want to make you feel as good as you're making me feel. Please baby," she murmured.

I sat up and looked at her as she sat up and reached for my cock. Placing a hand on my chest she gently pushed me backwards so I was lying on my back and placed on knee either side of my head. Leaning down she took me in her mouth and began to suck hard.

Holding onto her hips I guided her down to my waiting tongue, enjoying the added feelings on my cock as she moaned from the pleasure I was causing her.

She was making me get close and I didn't want to stop just yet so I pulled her further onto me and once again focused on her clit. Pushing a finger into her at the same time I heard her gasp and she let my cock slip from her mouth. 

"Baby, oh don't stop, just there, please, just there," she groaned, her face resting on my tummy, her fingernails digging into my hips.

I could feel her trembling and knew she wasn't far away from coming. I wrapped my arms around her and pushed her onto her back, allowing me to have even more access to her pussy. I put my hands on her thighs and pushed her legs open as far as I could, opening her up to me even more. I rubbed my tongue over and over her clit, smiling as I felt her trembling body moving beneath me. She pushed her hips up trying to get me to give her more, happily I obliged. 

"Zac, oh I'm so close. That's the spot, please, please, don't you dare stop," she said, growing louder as she got even closer. I took her clit in my mouth and sucked on it hard, as Lil gasped and began to come. I could feel her wetness grow and felt her whole body tighten beneath me. 

I moved myself between her legs and before she had fully recovered pushed myself into her, putting my weight on my elbows as I kissed her lightly on her nose.

"How was that baby girl?" I asked as I began to slowly move in and out of her.

"Amazing," she replied as she opened her eyes and wrapped her arms around my neck.

I nuzzled my face into her neck, her arms pulling my tightly to her. I continued to move in and out of her at a steady pace, feeling an orgasm building slowly.

"I love you Zac, I really, really love you," Lilli said to me, pulling my head up so she could kiss me.

"I love you too, precious," I told her, kissing her back. 

As the pleasure begin to build up more and more our kisses grew more passionate. 

"You're making me all tingly again," she said as her breathing once again became uneven.

"I'm making myself tingly," I said with a small chuckle as my breathing too became uneven.

She smiled up and me and began to kiss me once more. 

"Oh yeah, Lilli, fuck," I whispered as I felt myself grow closer. Lil's muscles slowly began to grow tighter around me.

"Zac," She cried out as we came hard together.

"Lilli, oh baby," I murmured into her hair and I rolled over and pulled her on top of me so I could hold her close. I kissed the top of her forehead as she closed her eyes and began to drift off to sleep. 

I gently rolled onto my side, careful not to wake her and pulled a blanket over us. We had a wet patch but it was forgotten in the need to hold her close. Nuzzling my face into her hair I took a deep breath and slowly joined her in dreamland.

~*~ Lilliahna ~*~

"Baby, I need to borrow some clothes," I said as I nudged Zac awake the next morning.

"Mmm..." he groaned. "In the dresser, help yourself." He added as he rolled over and pulled the covers over his head. 

Laughing I pulled out a shirt and slipped it over my undies before I wandered into the kitchen to get some food. As I waited for my toast to cook I examined my ring. It was truly beautiful. I still couldn't believe it. Grabbing my mobile from the lounge room I rang Summer.

"Humph?" she groaned into the phone.

"Good morning to you too sunshine," I replied laughing.

"Hey Lil, what's matter," she said, not saying all the words as she was still half asleep.

"Oh not much. Come around to Zac's please. I have something to tell you," I told her. 

"Time?" 

"Oh you're funny. You're just being lazy now. But whenever you want. I know that you are gunna be heaps curious so you're gunna be here soon. Also I know your wide awake now, but you are pretending that you aren't," I told her laughing.

"Ok Lil, you caught me. I'll be there soon," she said, hanging up. 

"Who were you talking to?" Zac asked as he came into the room wearing just his jocks.

"Summer, she's coming around soon so I can tell her the awesome news. You'd better put some pants on," I told him, kissing him on the cheek.

"So had you, or I might have to take more clothes off. You look so cute in my shirt with bed hair," he replied, wrapping his arms around me and pulling me to him.

"Your silly baby," I told him as I turned around to butter my toast.

"You making me breakfast? Wow, you're a good girl future Mrs. Davidson."

Laughing I took a big bite of the toast poked my tongue out at him. 

"Cheeky this morning hey?" he said, grabbing me and tickling me.

"Hey guys, I knocked but there was no answer," Summer said, coming into the kitchen.

Zac stopped tickling me and pushed me in front of him. 

"Don't worry, I already seen it," Summer laughed, as I ran over to her and gave her a hug. 

"So what's this awesome news?" she asked me as Zac left the room to put some pants on. Not saying a word I held up my hand.

"Oh my God Lil, is this for real??" She asked, grabbing my hand and examining the ring. "It's beautiful."

"I know. I have something to ask you too," I said. "Will you be my maid-of-honour?"

"Definitely!!" she screamed, jumping up and down in excitement.

"Definitely what?" Zac asked as he came into the room.

"Summer's agreed to be my maid-of-honour," I told him.

"Yay," he said with a smile. Summer smacked him on the arm. "I'm just kidding Sum, that's great," he added.

"Anyways, I'm heading into school to do some study. Wanna come Lil?" Summer asked.

"Yeah, give me ten minutes," I said, heading to the bedroom to get changed.

"Sure," Summer replied picking up the remote and flicking on the TV.
